Great great reconnect!!!! My first car was a’68 RS/SS Camaro that my dad traded even for - with a motor. I’d love to find Bondo Betty (south Texas car) - but seeing this made me smile for those guys - car folks are the best! Great work Wes and Team!!!
My wifes dad recently passed and some of her fondest memories are of time spent together with his '73 Dodge Charger. We are in our 50's now and she remembers it being sold 0:33 somewhat locally when she was young. We have a picture of it with the license plate on it at the time but have not had any luck whatsoever as far as locating it (if it's even around). If i could gift finding this Charger to my wife, it would mean everything to her. If you, or you know anyone who might be able to help us locate it, i would be willing to do whatever is necessary. Thank you
Surprised on these Shelby's and Mustangs that the Marti folks can't help out a bit. Maybe not tell you who owns it, but let you know how many reports have been issued for cars with like options. If there is a hit, maybe they could even act as an intermediary between the original owner and who has it now. Contact the current owner to see if they are interested in talking to the original owners. Of course they would do this for a price.
My Dad has a similar story he owned a 68 Camero he worked on it painted it himself yellow he loved it! But my ma hated it, long story he sold it for 10,000 and regretted it ever since. I would love to find it for him my Dad is now 82 yrs old
Wish I could find my dad's 1967 chevelle S.S. was a factory 396 car marina blue factory bench with a 4 speed. My uncle had a 1968 chevelle S.S. he bought back!
Being from the Philly area myself and photographing many cool cars I happened to find on the road starting in the early 1980s, I can say that if I had seen that sitting at Louis's dad's shop I would definitely have recorded it! If I were him, I'd bring it back to its "Night Moves" appearance, no question.
I got chills when he talked about The Buzzard sticker with his mom, I got chills. I am truly sorry to hear about your mom. God bless her and the whole family.
@@michaelweiland6751 when it comes to history on cars, the SAAC registrars only know details from warranty work and from what car owners report to them.
It always helps if the VIN # is provided as that will sometimes jar someone's memory as to where it may have been and where it might be. It took me two years to find the original owner of my 1979 10th Anniversary Trans Am and then I lost touch with him. I found his (now ex) wife on FB and she reconnected me to him and I've been chatting with him on and off to keep in touch. In my case, I got lucky. I got copies of the previous titles from other owners that I found and from there, I was able to connect with the original owner. It wasn't easy, but it can be done.
@@weseisenschenkslostmusclec9123 I have it all documented in a scrapbook. Now that I have his e-mail address, it should be easier to keep in contact with him.
@alfee9411 every person that talked about having a car as a teenager says the same thing... "I worked all summer" sounds a lot better than I saved up 500 bucks and my parents paid the rest.
Speaking of 1978 Z/28, i purchased a new black on black automatic sold it a couple years After and bought a red one 4 speed. So many memories. I have the window sticker of the first one, would love to give the msrp to the current owner, if it is still exist. Hit me up, it would be interesting.
Great interview, always enjoyed Mike's commentary on B-J auctions. Not sure I agree 100% that 'right now' depicts the best time to be in the car hobby though....unless of course money is no object. What I mean is, it's difficult for the average enthusiast to get into the hobby, considering how much more expensive most collector vehicles seem to be compared to 5-10 years ago. It's unreal what even a basket case is going for these days, and no doubt we've all seen it, regardless where we live. Yes, it might be easier to find a vehicle, or parts you're looking for on the internet, but who misses the days when things could readily and easily be found at the auto wreckers? But yes, I get it...supply and demand.
