RM23U0A174592.  It wound up at Jerry Jueneman's Wheel & Spokes Museum in Kansas.    Fellow in North Carolina bought it from them in 1985.   Looks like it had a backyard restoration and the wing put back on it.   The photo is from the late 80's.   I'm sure it's still out there somewhere.

Guess the guy in Tennessee I sold it to sold it to old JJ.  Odd color they painted it. Kind of a dead B7. Sorta.
I guess by this point (23 years later) it might have received a proper resto. I was hoping someone had brought it back since I didn't.

Thanks for looking and posting that pic. Who knows. Maybe since I've asked someone else might realize they have a pic of it all gussied up.

It's just the photo and the scan.  It's B5.

A very satisfying turn of events!

I wish I knew the VIN to some of the cars I've tried desperatly to track down over the years. Just goes to show that if you do have at least that much information it makes things 10 times easier.

I've got VINs on a lot of the Mopars I've owned including a one of 27 69 runner verts that were identical dealership cars. That one I DID try to reacquire a few years ago with no luck. It was together with the wrong color interior and the WORST bodywork you have ever seen. Quarters that looked like a sled run. Trunk had flat steel slapped in it. But I didn't care. It was running and driving and the top went up and down.

Not to be off-topic, but I had a real nice 1970 Challenger R/T back in the years 1984-86.
It was pretty well garbage when I got it. A perfect example of "ridden hard - put away wet".
At least it was "numbers matching", 383 four-speed.
After a very enthusiastic amateur restoration on my part, I ended up trading it straight across for a 1969 Roadrunner with N96, V21, C16 R4.
Shouldn't have done that, and regretted it ever since.

Unfortunately for me, I have no idea what the VIN number was on my Challenger, which really sucks as I have no possible way to trace it from this point.

You don't have a license receipt or a photo with the license showing? You could find it by that. I ran down my T5 runner that way. Lucky for me, the guy I sold it to still owned it 15 years later. Seems he wouldn't talk to anyone about selling it till I called him. I bought it in 76, sold it in 83, then bought it back in 98. Still have it too.

I think I'll be buried in that one

if you have used your same insurance man for years, he may also have it on file. i friend of mine tracked his car down that way

Actually, I tried that route.
The province I was living in, Manitoba, has public-owned insurance: Autopac.
They also sell/control auto registrations, and driver licensing.
As it turns out, they only keep information on file for 5 years.
So in other words, I'm screwed.
