The VIN was not found in the database.

Super BUMP!

You could try carfax.com or one of the other VIN look up tools. It might show if the car was totaled or if he took it to a shop for repairs. Otherwise do you have a friend at the DMV or a cop? They could find the last owner.

Carfax won't work on this style of VIN, unless they've changed the way they work in the last few years.

If you can't find the VIN listed here, and a Google search doesn't turn it up (unlikely), you may be at the end of the road.

Thanks, I'll try that!

Have you tried contacting George Hussey at Auto Atlanta?
If the owner ever bought parts there, good chance the info will be in their database.

Maybe just move on and and buy another 914.

Wasting bandwidth.

I lived on Spring Valley Lake from 1988 to 1994 We have more than one guy that lived or live up near the lake. Coondog is in Apple Valley and the Spring Valley equestrian area is in Apple Valley and the rest of it is in Victorville. Loved it up there fishing every day from my deck on the lake.

Ace, my dad had a early 914 in light ivory. I purchased a running 73 for $4,000 and proceeded to make a tribute of my dad's car as inexpensively as possible. Even learned bodywork and painted the project car light Ivory myself. Every time I get in this car and drive it I can almost believe it is the same car. I never tried to find it because I knew it wasn't going to happen. I do hope you find it, but you can have just as much fun finding one just like it and starting over.

That’s correct, Dave. I just tried it.

It has been a year now... still no sign of it?

no sir...
needle in a haystack...
accept reality.

I would post the picture of the two men who bought it on this page if you think it went to Montclair. See if anyone recognizes them.

Looks like your VIN was added to the database, and details of your original post too.
You might consider posing another entry for that VIN with specific contact information is someone else just happens to see a car with that VIN and happens to see if it’s in the database.
Good luck with the search.

I think it was me that added the VIN to the database in order to help.

I would be more than happy to add more information such as contact information to the VIN entry I created. I will also include a link to this thread or any other site with info to help you find the car. Let me know. Good Luck!!

That would be great! Thank you so much! And thanks to all who have helped along the way!
