Another Idea?

[Jon S.]

Hello, I am trying to locate the selling dealer for my 1969 Roadster. I tried the NCRS document search option---and my check was returned stating the microphish my VIN was listed on was unreadable. I have located the 2nd owner from the replacement POP---but still no success of identifying the original owner and/or dealership.

Any ideas? I have Auto Ancestry hired and they are doing a marvelous job of tracking down what we can---but no ideas on dealership.

I appreciate any ideas that some of you may have found successful in the past.

Thanks, Jon Shafer

Did you check your gas tank sticker for info?

Gary, The car has had a frame off resto sometime in the past with a new tank--and no sticker on the car. I'm trying to the previous owner who restored it who I've heard may have it. I have the POP from the 2nd owner and am in touch with him---if I could somehow figure out the selling dealership---things would fall into place.

Jon...If you know the city, you can check the ZONE CODE listings (Member Services ) for dealers in that particular city where the car was brought to. It may narrow down your search in that particular time frame.....Gary

Re: Another Idea?

Gary, I don't know where it was purchased. I do know where parts had been purchased by the 2nd owner---Dinger Chevrolet--which has been out of business for over 15 years. Any other ideas??

That is a special paint/trim combo Saddle-Lemans blue what does the trim tag read??

976 Paint Code ---420 Interior

It was a special order. I am in contact with the 2nd owner who is listed on teh POP---and he confirmed it was saddle when he bought it with only 9k miles on it in early 1971.

I can send you a pic of the trim tag if you sne me your email address.
