Pizza Delivery: #966

[LGAFF]

Got the pizza box for #966, alittle rough on the hinge:




Coffee table book, manual, video are all inside. There is also a binder with the original owners name and Vin on it:



Every receipt is in the binder including original invoice from dealer, appears 1st owner paid a $5K premium on the car. I thought it was from Larry Faul, but appears Phillips Chevrolet in Frankfort, Il.

Here is the big question: There is an invoice from Larry Faul dated 12/15/93 with 69, 941 miles on the car. The invoice states:
28CVZ Engine Mechanical
Rebuild Engine.

No totals on the invoice, etc. Any ideas if this means anything or how I can find out if the engine was rebuilt?

Also found out rims are AFS not GM. Stereo installed cost the guy $1900.00. Also received original 1990 Chip.

Looks like this is the first owner, explains how he paid cash........everyhting is signed W. James Farrell, not sure why binder is different intials.

Nice find

I'd like to find #151 for my 90, but I think it might be over in Europe.

Did they all come with the VIN and name of owner on them?

The leather(?) brief in my pizza box has the O.O.'s name & the VIN engraved on a plate, just like your picture. Except GM put his plate on crooked. My pizza box & contents are only once removed from the source, as I bought my car from the O.O.

Cool that you have all that stuff. Ryan!

I unwrapped the coffee table book when I got the car. Heck my tape is still sealed! I don't have a VCR anyway!

Yes.

No ProtectoPlate however; I don't know when that started and ended but I have the one for my 67 coupe. I also have one for a 65 roadster.

Sorry, I saw Pizza Delivery and thought this was about Keith (ITLGO2).

Just got this e-mail from prior owner...car apparently went from original owner to son-in-law to the previous owner to me............prior owner sent me this e-mail when I asked him if he knew prior owner was a well-to-do CEO..

"Yes, Lee, I knew he was well heeled. That’s why he didn’t hesitate to do a complete ‘update’ of the engine, and paint the car. By the way, did I tell you he got a $600 speeding ticket doing 155mph in the car?"

Interesting. Mine was someone called G.Sachau but this wasn't who I bought from, I think I was around 3 people away from the OO and have no info on him/her.

I have a question about the "protecto-plate". I remember seeing one when I had my 72 back in the late 70's. I bought that car from the O.O. and it was still with the car. It looked like a credit card.

Sooo my Q is, did our ZR-1's come with a protecto-plate????

I'm asking because when I bought my 08 Cobalt there is no protecto-plate. You should have seen the look on the service writer's face the first time I showed up for warr service & tried to explain that "I didn't loose my protecto-plate. I swear it wasn't in my owners folder and I hadn't thought about it till I needed service on my car." The guy got a good laugh at that one!
