Looking for my old car. I traded it in to a Chrysler dealership in Highland Creek in 1970 and would like to track it down. Have no vin #. It was a 69 340 stick car, Blue with a blue interior and a white stripe. It had a 410 posi, dumps in the exhaust and redline tires. I know this is a long shot, but if anyone knows someone who may have bought this car, I would be interested in talking to them. If you know someone who currently owns a car like this,I would also like to speak with them. Any assistance is greatly appreciated

Your pics aren't coming up. You might want to check For A Bodies Only, www.forabodiesonly.com/.
There's quite a few members from Ontario on that forum.
It'll be rather difficult to track it down, with no VIN.

Ignore the pictures, they were there when I sent the post and I could not get rid of them (not great with computers) Know it's going to be tough, but I got lots of time. Already talked to www.forabodiesonly.com/ and have gotten some interesting replies.

That would be the place.. We all would go to the Harvey's on Eglinton on the weekend and go racing at around 1 or 2 in the morning. Went to Mason rd public as a kid the R H king and Cedarbrae High before ending up at Woburn...

I used to work at Davis cycle and sports (beside Shamrock burgers)when I was a kid, and went to West Hill. You've got 14 years on me, so we would know a different crowd. By the time I got into cars, Cops were clamping down quite a bit on street racing, so I kinda missed out on a lot. Guys used to race on Coronation st.( I think)

If you can buddy up to a local cop, have him run your name and find old cars registered in your name. He should be able to get you the VIN number.

If you know the VIN, just buy a used vehicle package.

 I don't know why I remember certain things, but I still know the VIN of my Roadrunner, and I sold it 18 years ago. I wish I could purge my head of this useless information so that I could remember what I had for supper last night. nono

Only problem is. if the person behind the Service Ontario counter is a stickler, they keep the page that has the current owners name and address. Privacy Laws. Had that happen to me on a couple of UVIP.
