Is there any way to track down a license number? YUP! Found it!

I wish I could find the satillite like that.

I hate to dredge this old thread up without new pics but I did get another lead on the car today. I dug around and found the phone number of the owner's mom (who's storing the car) and she promised to take pictures of the car and mail them to me. I started to give her an email address and she told me she doesn't do email so it's going to be prints mailed to my house at some point... I hope.

For the past year and a half I've asked the current owner to send me some pics of my old 70 and at first he said no problem but for some reason it eventually became a problem. Not sure why but I keep asking for them every 3-4 months or so. Hopefully it will happen this time because it's going through his mom instead. BTW, his mom told me he got rid of the 383 and it now has a 440 transplant that "shakes the house" when she starts it.

None yet. The current owner is way less interested in the car than I am apparently. Way back in June of '06 I contacted him and asked about the car and gave him a bunch of history on it and we agreed to swap pictures of it; his current pics for mine from the 80s. Well I sent my pics that same night and I never got anything from him. Every once in a while, like every 3-4 months, I'd send him another email politely asking for the pictures he promised. The second time I asked he put me off but every time after that he just ignored me. For more than two years he ignored me. So two-and-a-half years later (yesterday) I finally sent a rather pointed message saying I don't really appreciate being ignored for two years to which he replied with a hearty f*&$ you (in not so many words) saying not to bother him again and that was it. What's funny is it only took me one phone call to his mom and she offered to take pics and mail them to me a few days ago. Why he couldn't do that two years ago is beyond me. His mom sounds like a really nice lady so I'm guessing this arrogant you-know-what takes after his dad.

All I have to say is if you really can't send something to someone; be it pictures, parts or whatever, at least have the balls to say no and apologize rather than put people off and ignore them.

Oh man that sucks I've had a similar situation.

My dad was the original owner of a '69 Coronet and had it for over twenties years and then got rid of it in the early 90's.  It passed hands a few times and got a repaint and new interior and then my brother bought the same car as his first car (was also my dads first car) when he was in high school.  Then not long after my brother graduated he got side swiped by some lady and sold the car, which I never thought he would ever do.

But anyways me and my sister in law tracked down the car and were going to see if we could purchase it for his 30th bday but the guy had like some crazy amount of money into it so buying it wasn't an option.  We just asked for some pics and he said he'd send some but we haven't heard anything or gotten any pics and its been almost a year now.

It is definetly frustrating of going through the work to track down the car and find it and then not even get a picture of it in its current state

Bull, maybe you should tell his mom what he said to you & she will... ... him for ya.
