Thanks just did so. Theres nothing like getting your first car back.
Yes yes yes. In 1987 it was bought near Reading. I lived in Schuylkill county. I got word of a turquoise one owned by a guy that grew up near Reading but he has owned the car forever like at least the late 70s and i believe its a 4spd
Thanks for the encouragement....Ive given VIN to notaries connected to DMV and also a police officer to check but when I get 'no results' I feel it's because it's not a modern 17 character vin. Even if the car is dead there should be history of old titles issued. I won't give up yet.
I've been to every Chrysler Nationals at Carlisle since the first in 1991. I saw your car there in the 1990s when I would drive in from Chicago in my 1962 and 1966 Imperials. The past owner had to be the guy you got it from, attorney in the Philadelphia area. Met him at a local show in 2018 when I still had my red '69 Track Pak GTX; he was only in town because his daughter had a swim meet at Penn State that weekend. I remember the mileage, and the guy told me he let it go because he never drove it. My first car went to Edgarton, Ohio in 1981, and changed hands through a dealer about ten years later. I have no idea where it went from there. It has been in Roger Wilson's 1970 GTX registry for years, with no information surfacing. Picture below from my honeymoon in 1977, car was completely stock original. Still have the wife, 44 years later. This hobby is a fairly small and tight group, you never know when you might get a good lead.
You definitely have the right car...i bought it from an attorney i believe Dave. Since then i was able to get the dings out (paintless) and give it a thorough detail.
Beautiful and such a rare color. Back to the Charger I posted on the welcome wagon and it got deleted said I should post on lost/found
Al Vanice is an urban legend here in State College. I finally got to meet him in person at a show a few years ago. We have the distinction of being the only two residents here who have both owned a Chrysler 300F. I was surprised when he told me he had sold the AAR. I figured that would be the one he would keep the longest. I'm attaching photos of two other mythical Mopars from my teen years in State College - The '69 Hemi Road Runner that was eventually owned by a Penn State music professor, and the dealer demonstrator '69 GTX, which was the was the family car of the owners of Clark Motor Company back in the day. I test drove the GTX when I was 16 - It appeared to be destiny that someday I would have a Hemi GTX in my garage, after owning five 440 GTXs along the way.
Yes Al was a very interesting person. I was so happy to get that car. Someone else trying to buy it weeks later called me and after knowing where I lived mentioned a 66 black black 4spd Hemi Satellite with original paint 20 minutes from me. I got that one as well.
Do you have any possible info or thoughts?
Hi Jim,
