Well as I'm sure you all get a lot here I'll try to spare you the long story of trying to get my dad's car back, but that's what I'm here for!
I posted this in the "newb intros" but I know that doesn't always get a lot of attention. Hope nobody minds me posting it here as well!
I've grown up around muscle cars thanks to my dad and his Chevelle. It's been a great experience and these old cars have been a huge part of my childhood. I've now got an old Camaro as my own and help my dad with his Chevelle's whenever I get the chance. My dad has told me countless stories about all of his old cars and he was pretty big into Mopars back in the day. Now myself being 22 it's the perfect time to try and track down these cars if possible as this is the same age that my dad was able to own these cars. If I would be able to track down any of his old cars that would be so cool and my dad would love to talk to the owners about the car's history. I know the chances are slim but he had some special cars so maybe someone, somewhere, has info on the whereabouts of them!
- 1970 AAR, sublime, black interior, 4 speed, urethane bumpers
- 1970 AAR, red, red interior, 4 speed, this car actually had a 426 Hemi swapped into it when he bought it
- 1969 Coronet R/T 440, red, black interior, 4 speed, manual brakes and manual steering, my dad actually received a call in the 90's about this car being restored in the Kansas City area but never heard what happened to it after that.
- 1970 Challenger R/T 340, not much info on this one as he owned it just a few weeks before trading it for one of the AAR's
Looking forward to being a part of this community, you guys have some incredible cars!
I checked the AAR VIN's on the online registry but had no luck. The 2nd VIN seems to be missing digits at the end, I guess they misread it back in the day or else it doesn't match the standard AAR VIN sequence.
Here's a club my dad was a member of back in the day. Top VIN is for the Sublime car, bottom is for the red Hemi swapped car
Zoomed in on the VIN's
Here you can see both AAR's. Top picture is after my dad finished the engine rebuild on the Sublime car. Bottom pictures are both the Hemi swapped car. Someone repainted it with metal flake and did their own rendition of the AAR stripes...dad was not a big fan. Also the previous owner had mounted a 6-pack scoop on a 'Cuda hood which was kinda cool.
Here's his '69 Coronet 440
He's got more pictures at home, but this is all I have to go off of for now. Hope you guys can help out!
