HELP! To the Mopar community in Georgia

[Mopar Hunter]

Report it stolen!

Looks like you’re in California at the moment.

Georgia is a "no title" state.

However, a bill of sale and registration IIRC proves ownership.

I'd absolutely contact GA state authorities.

I'd also look up the shop in the registry of GA businesses (they have to have one), and possibly file a lawsuit against them.
You may automatically win if the business is defunct and/or the proprietors fail to show in court.
However, a mechanic's or storage lien could have been filed, but I believe the owner needs to be notified in writing, and given opportunity to "remedy".


...and I have to mention .....NO, an "E" VIN car is NOT a 383, it's a 318 car.

I’m asking the Georgia/Mopar community for help.





This 1966 Charger appears to be my vehicle. By appears to be, I mean matching VIN and Tag.

I purchased it from the prior owner, Gary, a few years ago and have documents proving ownership.

It was stored at a shop in Georgia, and when I recently arranged to have it picked up, I was told the shop no longer had it and that it had been towed away with several other vehicles the day before it was scheduled to be transported elsewhere. As the city was the one who originally complained about the project vehicles, they assumed it was the city. As i was not notified nor does the city have it listed as impounded at any point, im presuming it was not taken by the city.

The car is now being posted for sale on Reddit and Facebook Marketplace by this individual, but he has not responded to my messages on either platform. I am currently out of state and am trying to understand what my lawful options are to recover the vehicle.

Is anyone in the Georgia area able to help make respectful contact with him, ask him to respond, or point me toward the right local resources? I am not asking anyone to harass or threaten him. I am simply trying to get communication started and recover my car properly.



This car has a lot of personal meaning to me, and I would deeply appreciate any help, guidance, or local direction.

I'm offering sympathy and a decode report. There may be some more data under the stuff in the middle of Line 3 from the top. Note that the VIN & FenderTags agree that the original engine was a 318. Other readers: I need more examples of '67-'68 MoPar fender tags to help expand the coverage of my free decoder to those cars. Especially those tags from loaded cars. VIN adds to the complete picture but not necessary for decoding the fender tag.

So have you called the Georgia police?

Says it has been listed for seven weeks on Facebook Marketplace in Dallas, GA. Not sure if this is the proper way to attach a link to the ad.

1966 CHARGER WITH ORIGINAL 383 “E” Engine Edelbrock Carburetor all engine parts wrapped rust free

That would probably be Cobb County, a suburb Northwest of Atlanta.
