Anybody ever reunite with your old car?

[jayco91]

Anybody have any luck buying back a car that you wished you never sold?  I sold my 69 Charger back in 2010. I bought it in Selkirk NY in 1994. Took a while but got it the body and paint done. Original R4 red in Lacquer. Black vinyl top. Replaced the 360 with a correct for car 1969 318. Black bucket seats with buddy seat, column shift, AC ect.. . Sold it to get something else, was getting board or so I thought. Ended up buying a 1970 Dodge Challenger SE loaded up in 2011. Still after all these years still miss my charger. Was resold in Syracuse NY in 2012. May be interested in a trade up or down for my old charger. What sites have you used in trying to locate a specific car? Just ones like these, bookface, craiglist and hope you get lucky. I know its a long shot but it has been a long year for me and still miss the one that "got away".

In 1983, I sold my first car, a '69 Dart. The next year, I saw it in a self serve junkyard UNwrecked. I don't know why it would have been junked, there wasn't any damage visible on it though many parts were gone by then.

First Charger I ever drove on the road was a 68 with a 318 in it back in the mid 80's

Was a very none rotted car when I had it
Sold it off because I was young and married with kids and building a house

Came across it again about 10 years later but did not have enough spare cash to buy it back again
It was sitting in a shed in the back row with a bunch of other mopar projects

Never go back
Just keep moving forward and looking for something better
That is what I have done and think I have better toys now than just keeping my first one

Hmmm I still have my first car and I'm 56 . . .

I looked for it the past  year or so and cant find it. But I sold my 1969 GTX conv early 2000s or so time frame. B5 blue, with blue and white interior, white top, 440 and column shift auto

Thats pretty much the only car I would have liked to have back over the car I currently own.

Do you have the VIN of the Charger?

I sold My 68 GTS383 Dart in the early 80's, found it still alive a few years ago, still in Texas.

[jayco91]

A year or so ago I was driving around in my somewhat small town, and a 70 Charger passed me.  Thinking I had the only Charger in town, I pulled a quick U-turn and followed the guy.  Luckily he turned into a parking lot, so I pulled in behind him.  Told him I too had a 70 Charger at home, so we exchanged numbers because it's always nice to have a fellow mopar buddy in town.

Well turns out, his car used to belong to my dad.  It was the last Charger he owned, and was a huge influence on me as a kid.  It's weird that the car wound up back in our town, when my dad sold it, it went more than an hour away (the new owner bought it from the family my dad sold it to).

I always wondered where that car wound up, and now its in good hands with a local mopar friend.

Anybody ever reunite with his ex-wife ??

[Kern Dog]

I almost did.
She left me and after a couple of months, she visited one morning...after I had a one night stand that had just left about an hour earlier. The condom wrapper was on the floor. She didn't notice.

Post the VIN.   I can check my old database from the 69 Charger Registry and forward the VIN to Shawn Boyle who now runs it...

I keep hearing stories about my old first car, a 70 Charger R/T. I do know it still exists. I have been trying for year to get in touch with the current owner to buy it back with no luck. The people who know about it say he doesn't want to be bothered. I can respect that. Even if he doesn't want to sell it I would still like to talk to him and maybe even see it.

Vin # is xp29f9b358912

[BrianShaughnessy]

Yes.
Bought '78.   Sold 80/81?
Bought back '09.  Took awhile to finish.

Last note I had for that car was that it was in Clay, NY.  It was for sale on eBay with a BIN price of 22.5k.  This was on 2/14/2012.....no other record after that

Thanks for getting back to me.

I should only be so lucky to even find where my '68 went. Tried to track it down but have no idea who bought it from the Dealer in St. Louis. They won't tell me but they did tell me the new owner took the wing off of it. (I would assume the fender scoops and 6 pack scoop hood were removed too) In my own opinion it would be worth finding because there was next to zero body filler on the entire car and zero rust when it was completed. I was forced to sell it by court order and didn't break even on it. (nothing for 4 years labor) Now I can't even find one for double what mine went for so I guess I will never get another one. That's life...

ARIMASTER - Holy smokes welcome back it's been ages!

I keep in touch with the guy who bought my '70 and get to see it on occasion...I even bought my Slots back from him!

[Kern Dog]

Nice looking car, Sir!   

[chargered]

Not yet, haven't been able to find it.  I had a 66 GTO in high school.

Thanks, I visit now and then but don't always sign in. Sometimes looking to see if someone may show up with my old car but without the build I did on it I probably wouldn't recognize it anyway...
