    help finding a CS collector

    CS board members: I own a K code Mustang and am trying to reconstruct the history of the previous owners and could use your help. At one time the car I own was supposed to belong to a CS collector living in the San Diego area (Rancho Penasquitos) named Ernie. I'm unsure of Ernie's last name, but...
