I FOUND HER....

[Steve P.]

Right now I am so happy I could just run up the side of a tall building!!!!

Many of you know I have been trying for years to find my original 1965' Coronet 500.. I have been all over the WWW posting and asking for help..

Well last night I checked my e-mail.. I had a one line note from someone that I don't know.

It read:  Get a hold of Eric. I believe he has your old car..  (addy.)

As I have had many of these before I was not getting my hopes up.. I sent out an e-mail to Eric..

This morning I check my mail and as sure as having itchy balls while insulating your attic, I read, YUP I HAVE YOUR OLD CAR.....


Not only does he still have it... He told me where we were when I sold it to him.... BUT then he tells me that he also now lives in FLORIDA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  WAAAAHOOOOO!!!!

A quick check on Mapquest and I find out he is only 187 miles from me..... 
We are going to set up a time for my wife and I to go see the old girl and tell eachother lies..

I am soooooo happy that  "THE OTHER WOMAN" is still alive and well and even close by...

When you guys talk about selling your cars that have meant so much to you,, well,, I sort of die a little... The old pile of iron was such a big part of my life, I just can't explain....

For those of you that are looking for your old girls, don't give up.. This is such a great feeling.....

[Brock Samson]

that's great man!

Thanks Strat.. I just cannot stop smiling!!!!   

[PocketThunder]

Are you gonna buy it back?

[firefighter3931]

So cool Steve....make sure to snap off a couple of pics and leave a deposit...just in case he ever sells. I'm sure she'll end up in your posession some day.

[Steve P.]

Thanks guys.. I just got an e-mail back from the guy that sent me the addy. to my car. He said he read my story on the 62-65 Mopar site.. I have to get in touch with BK and thank him for all his help..

By the way, for those who remember the T-Shirts being sold on E-Bay, ("THE OTHER WOMAN", that was BK...

Man do I owe him a beer!!!

Rest assured, I have alllllllready let ERIC know that I want it back if he ever decides to sell her... Also you can bet the pony that I will take plenty of pics.. All the pics. I had were lost when the moving company that moved our stuff to Florida had a wreck.. We never did recover a few boxes.. Along with the pics. was the name of the owner and the vin#...

That is great news! Nice to hear a happy ending every now and then. 

[Chargerguy74]

Awsome. I've been there myself, slightly different story though.

[Silver R/T]

congratulations

[bull]

That's awesome. I'd like to find my old red '70 Charger someday. I did  a little digging once but nothing turned up.

[Steve P.]

I got allot of help from BK on the 62-65 Mopar site.. Maybe you could find a CHARGER site that could HELP!!!!!   Hahaha....



Damn, I am a happy camper tonight!!!!!!!!!!!

[Wakko]

That's so cool...can't wait to see how it looks.  Hopefully he'll sell it back to you sometime.

[Steve P.]

   Wouldn't that be fantastic?

Congratulations!  Are you still planning to move away from Florida?

[MoparYoungGun]

Congrats !

[Telvis]

It just goes to show persistence pay off. That and a bit of luck! Congratulations! I hope you end up getting her back.

[Steve P.]

Congratulations!   Are you still planning to move away from Florida?

WELL,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,   It's still very much up in the air.. My workers comp. company is trying very hard to force me to take a settlement. If they were to make a decent offer I might entertain it.. They are just doing everything they can to make my life miserable as they can..

I'm sure the house I wanted to buy in Rochester is gone by now..   I'm not sure but I haven't heard from the Realtor in a few weeks.. Finding doctors up there is a huge pain in the butt.. Comp will NOT let you start with one and move to another.. At least not without a huge fight!!

It's hard to make a move like this when everything is good.. Try having to deal with an insurance company on top of it all....    It sucks!!

[694spdRT]

How many years has it been since you sold it anyway?

[Steve P.]

I sold her back in 86'.. Long story short, my shop was being shut down by the town it was in and I needed the money to fight town hall..  The entire thing was ridiculous and hurt only me and my family..

The pisser is that after giving up my baby and losing ALLOT of money for more than a year, I lost and went to work for a buddy.. Two weeks later my wife opened the mailbox and the rotten f_____g town granted me a variance...  I was fit to tied!!

[Shakey]

I'd sure like to find my old Daytona as I know there is a piece of hash somewhere under the back seat! 

Seriously, congrats on finding the old girl.  Hopefully she has been taken care of.

[Charger_Fan]

That's awesome news, Steve!!
Congratulations!



Can't wait for the pics...and there had better be one of your grinning wall-walking face in the driver's seat!

Congrats Steve, I know how excited you are. I sold my 69 back when I was 17, that was in oh '86-'87, the guy wrecked it the week he got it. Well, last year I finally tracked it down less than an hour from me. It has been setting in the same spot sinse he wrecked it. The title is still in my Moms name, the performance stickers I had put on the windows are still on it. Man it was like walking back in time. Unfortunely, the old guy want sell it back to me yet. He's one of those that keeps saying, "Oh....Im gonna fix that thing one day!"

I remember your post on that find...too bad you can't get it back.

Steve, going on 20 years....that is quite a while. Glad the old girl is still around.

Congrats on finding her again steve! If you decide to move back to the ROC, let me know, we have some cruisin to do

[Drache]

I'm still currently trying to track down my father's '70 R/T. I've gotten it down to the city where it was known last and yet still might be racing but I don't have any spare time or money to take a trip there to "waste" a week looking for it sadly.

[mustanghater]

[KMPX2]

So cool

[ChargerRob]

Congrats

[MoparUSAF]

Wow...what are the odds?
Good for you!

[SLIKK 70]

Congrats, i wish I could find my 70 FK5 R/T BVT somewhere!!

[69_500]

Thats awsome. I know I have spent many hours over the past years trying like crazy to track down cars that my dad used to own when I was growing up. I know how I felt the times that I have discovered where some of those cars are now. It was an incredible feeling to be able to look at the Red on Red Daytona he used to own.

[MoparMotel]

Charger 440-

just curious..........whats the story on that car?
