I realize this is a real longshot since I didn't retain any VIN information. But I am trying to find my old 1969 grabber blue /white int GT 350 automatic convertible. I owned the car from about 1974 until 1984 and sold it to a collector in Chicago who owned a warehouse near Lincoln and wellington in Chicago filled with about 75 cars in 1983 or 84. What is unique about the car is that I sold it with a Jack Roush built Boss 351 motor in it with the original engine also sold with the car. I had converted it from an automatic to a four speed and also added a hone-o-drive to it. Yeah I know that sounds dumb but back then we enjoyed our cars and drove them. I never registered it with SAAC because I had no idea SAAC existed back then. Any leads would be greatly appreciated
If everything you stated was original, you had a rare car that I would like to see again also---(in my garage). Good news-- bad news. After a search through the 97 registry only 3 cars fit your description and one has been in Sweden since early 70s'. #2104 was purchased new by Roberta Atler in NJ and # 2643 was a Shelby company car and then sold from a Pa. dealership. Only difference I saw between the 2 cars was a heavy duty battery in #2104. The bad news is neither car has any updated information in the 97 registry, Possibly the registrar can help from here. Good Luck.
Len, Thanks for the help. How is it that you are going through and using the registry? I tried to narrow it down using my 97 registry but couldn't figure out how to do it? Is there a short cut I am missing? I purchased my car circa 1974 at a dealers auction in South Florida for about 2200 dollars. My car would be easy to identify with the hole in the tunnel for the hone-o-drive gearshift. I also put speakers behind the back seat and put glass in the rear window when I replaced the top. There would also be two more areas of the body welded where we installed the 1970s style alarm and drilled a hole in the left rear quarter and another hole in front of the deck lid for the CB antenna. LOL
No short-cut!! I was bored at 3am and searched every 69 and 70 for your matching data by using the original codes.Really only took about a hour because you had such a rare color car. The SAAC registrar has much more info since the book came out so " you never know", hopefully something will come up.
I am going to try to run my name in the Illinois old DMV records to see if I can find the VIN. Thanks.
