Yesterday, my Dad started talking about a 73' he had around the time I was born. It was kinda weird actually, because he doesn't talk much about any one car in particular, so for him to bring it up, I know he misses it.
Car was apparently a black 73' with early chrome bumpers (no tits), deep 6 Fuchs, and a big type IV engine, like 2.2 or 2.4 with 48 Webers and and a performance clutch. Apparently, he had to sell it to help pay for our first house (I was 2 or 3 at the time and would have completely objected had I known) when we moved from San Pedro (LA area) to San Diego in the late 80's early 90's. He said some Japanese guy in Gardena basically stalked him for a year asking over and over again if he would sell it, and eventually, he had to and ended up trading the guy for his 914 plus cash. Anyone have any idea about this car or how I could find it after 20 years? Anyone ever had a situation like this? |

Rique,
Your Dad's old records for bank loans, etc. may have the VIN - if he has any of that stashed in boxes in the recesses of the attic or garage (us old guys do that, then forget about due to our half-zymers doncha know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ). If you can find the VIN, then go to AAA & they can probably do a look up on the system to see if it's still registered & maybe in which town, but may not give you the owner's name due to privacy concerns. If you're not a member, send me a PM or email & I'll call for you to see what I can find. If it's in the system still, then DMW also has an info request form pdf at their website where you can send in the VIN & a small fee to get info, then they send to the POs & current owner to get a release to send out the info. Then maybe your Dad could start stalking that guy again!!?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) ... hey, that's my old 914! ......
