Finally a Supercar Owner!!!

[camarojoe]

Sorry for my delay in posting, I was out of town for several days and just got the news myself! Thanks to Marlin's intensive legwork and title searching, as well as some digging by myself and a few others, it turns out my car was not sold new in MD as the previous owner had believed. While the car did spend a portion of its life within 10 miles of Lustine Chevrolet in Hyattsville MD, it turns out (through a DMV title search of Maryland) that it did not start life there, and was actually originally titled in VA, and spent well over a decade in and around the Virginia Beach/Norfolk area before the title was transferred to MD. I am still making calls and attempting to contact each previous owner individually and will provide updates to everyone who may be interested. Through the title searches we have done and in talking with the owners that i have located already, I now know that the car was originally sold at Colonial Chevrolet. As you may know, Colonial was the largest sYc Network distributor, selling at least 15 of the 175 Deuces, and was located right in the heart of Norfolk VA. .. Which also means there is an unaccounted for Lustine car still out there somewhere waiting to be discovered!

camarojoe;

Congrats on your research success!

(mumble mumble ... rats, another lost local Deuce slips through my hands...) Ok, no one else can find another un-discovered Colonial car until I do.

C'mon Gregg!!! I gave you the VIN and the state it went to, and had you do a title search - why haven't you found the car yet??? It was the Colonial race car to boot I know you are the researcher extrordinaire, so you must be close to tracking it down by now

[camarojoe]

Anyone know any GOOD search websites to track people by old addresses? I have full names, and full addresses,(although probably not current) and still come up blank when i try to track them down via any of the white pages/people search pages I've found online... I need a better search engine!

PS... Where's that Colonial race car Greg???

Try going to the County Auditor's website for a specific county and check the tax records, which are public record.
Some counties have excellent websites due to the power of the real estate and mortgage industries. The proporty tax records are public, and God knows there is no escape from them.
Some rural counties don't have a website, but the courthouse records may have some useful information.
Thank my wife, the genealogy expert.

No, I actually bought it to add an extra Dixco hood tach to my collection

I still have 2 Camaros, so I think I will be keeping my "camarojoe" handle...I must say, I like your suggestion better than SOME peoples' though!

If you exhaust the free search engines, the next step is to pay one of the on-line bail bond companies to do a search for you. I used one successfully in Nevada to search for a previous owner of one of my past cars. Each search costs something like $25 or so. Good luck!
