Help finding my Dad's car!! - Page 3

Just to update the thread......I got nothin'......

No reply from my letter, so either it's not the right person or she sold it a while ago and no clue as to where it is, so no reply. Might have to get a Private Eye involved. I believe the car is still in NJ so maybe I need to befriend a State Trooper to do a search. Wonder if the NJ DMV can help?

BWAAAHAHAHAHA

DMV....help.... boy....I sure is funny today!

Cheers

Dave

The NJ DMV will not help, even law enforcement is unable to pull the info for you without a legit case file - my BIL is a NJ officer and could never get a thing....

I would still visit and look for the brightest and best DMV Person to ask if they can support your search in some way.

I have learned with 100% confidence that if you do not ask (or share your story) you will not receive.

I don't know how to say this politically correctly..... so I will just say it..... you could lie:-) report the car stolen and see what happens..... I will put a smiley face at the end so you know I am joking :-)

For example Al and I were refused the option to keep his 1973-1976 ownership card for my car so I could have it.... we went to my hometown MTO and told her the whole story and she says, go next door get an appraisal for $15 and give that document to me and you can keep the ownership:-) MTOWTSAC

All good advice, until you see the stare of a NJ Officer....

You won't believe me.... but in Ontario Canada I can take a VIN number to the Ministry of Transportation and get the history of a car all the way back to 1973 for $20.00 CAD.

Sorry to hear your lead was a no-go but keep trying.
As mentioned earlier, best may be lay the whole Vin out here so this thread becomes the result for anyone ever Googling the Vin.
Again, it could be years from now so consider including a # to reach you at that will stay the same.
Best of luck!

I'll keep trying. The Car's number is 237177P182159. I just got the PHS on it too. As remembered by my Dad and backed up by the docs , its Mariner Turquoise, Ivory Vinyl Top, Turquoise (greenish) bucket seat interior, console, Ralley gauges, 326-H.O., 4-speed, H.D. suspension, A/C, 3.23 Safe-T-Trac. Pontiac made 2,032 of them. A sharp color combo, and I'd love to find it. Might have to do the P.I. thing if I don't hear anything from the first lead.

The hunt continues.....

Cheers

The owner that I thought the car had is not the current owner. But, she lead me to another person whom she sold the car to. I'm working on contacting him. Updates to follow!

Cheers

I assume the next owner hasn't registered the vehicle yet....... that is the point it gets a little difficult to track US cars :-(

Keep on it, this is fun!!!

i am a land surveyor in NJ, so we use the county real estate /deed records alot. You can go on Burlington County website and see who lives at that address. You can also look up that person's name in almost all counties of NJ to see if they own property in that county. (in case they moved nearby)
