#7 of 16 68 Camaro by chevylover4 Jul 08, 2009 (11:53 am)
I am trying to find my fathers 1968 Camaro RS but i dont know where to start it has the small block but is running at 550 Horse with a 2000 stall. No stick or paddles to shift it uses the orignal auto shifter which has been made into a 3 speed. It was blue with stripes. He had traded it in 1972 for a yellow 68 convertable vette at the downtown Chevy dealership that is now called Don Wheaton chev olds LTD. but I don't know where to go or what to do.

#9 of 16 I'm looking for my Dad's old 1970 Dodge Challenger 340 hardtop. by baileym Aug 02, 2009 (11:55 am)
My dad used to own a 1970 Dodge Challenger 340 hardtop, but he sold it before i was born. He died 16 years ago and I really want to find his exact car. How can I do that? Replies to this message: Mr_Shiftright (Aug 02, 2009 2:03 pm) mbw7890 (Aug 26, 2009 3:26 pm) savethecars (Aug 27, 2009 5:44 pm)

Replying to: baileym (Aug 02, 2009 11:55 am) Pretty near impossible unless you know the VIN or can at least locate the person who bought it. See post #8. You can always put an ad in Hemmings Motor News giving your dad's name, description of the car and when it was sold. A real long long shot but you never know. People sometimes find notes in bottles washed up on the beach, too.

found   this whole thing reminds me of a book on cd i bought years ago by some 40+ year old guy who tried to relive his high school years over again. one of the the chapters involved him looking for the camaro berlinetta he owned back then.

Replying to: explorerx4 (Aug 26, 2009 6:26 pm) Yeah, offering a 1/4 million reward could speed up the detective work considerably

Replying to: chad8 (Feb 04, 2008 9:07 am) Hi, Old DMV records wont help. If you know a private investigator or are good friends with your insurance agent, they might help. I have background in law enforcement. A P,I, if they have access, can request a body vin search on the vehicles history records. Ask your insurance agent or a local old car appraiser. they might have access to certain computer records on old vehicles.. It's a monthly fee they pay for the service...   Good Luck Mike   p/s I bought a 67 chevelle from Spencer, Mass about 8 yrs ago... What was the factory colors of your???
