One other idea for the OP:
You might want to hire a private investigator. I know it sounds extreme, but it is amazing what they can find given their knowledge of the landscape of public records, etc. It's kind of like working on a car yourself or handing it over to a professional mechanic or painter. You might maybe achieve similar or better results, but probably not—and not as soon. |

The plate looks a lot like an Ohio plate from 1984—not only in terms of style and symbol but by the state & county markings and the registration stickers...
...and QUE (1982) > QYN (1984) makes sense. Could be QUE SS3, but sure looks like QUE 553 given Ohio's sequence. Either way, it's quite a head start on getting the VIN and maybe even tracking the car down. My 1973 914 is still wearing the same plate it wore in 1972, and if there are hurdles at the Ohio DMV, a PI might be your next best bet. If I had to take a guess, and the car still exists yet hasn't been seen here (by anyone), there's a chance it's been sitting in a garage or outside for a very long time. Interesting wheels, too. Look BMW-ish, or are they Audi or VW? Or Vega/Monza?GM? Having a tough time recognizing them, but feel like I've seen them. Attached image(s)

I think Pete wants to be a private investigator when he grows up.
Good work so far! |
