It has been a good year for me in my quest to re-unite broadcast sheets and other documents with the cars they belong to.
Earlier this year I was able to provide the current owner of a 1970 Hemi Road Runner I previously owned with old registration paperwork and other related material, and had also previously provided old photographs of his car. Then Barry Washington found a Challenger T/A on eBay that I had a broadcast sheet for. I sent the broadcast sheet to Barry, and last I heard he was waiting for the current owner to get a clear title and provide proof of ownership.
Now, another major success!... A friend of mine was at the Mopar Nats and was approached by someone that saw he had Texas license plates, and asked if he had ever heard of me. After the guy explained that he was looking for the broadcast sheet and other documentation for the car, my friend told him he knew me... and had just seen me before his trip to the Nats. He took the guy's phone number and other basic information and passed it on to me when he returned from the Mopar Nats.
The current owner lives in Florida, and not being addicted to the Internet like a lot of Mopar motorheads, had not seen my posts on Moparts and other message boards about having the broadcast sheet... he found me the old-fashioned way... with a LOT OF LUCK!!!
After receiving proof that he owned the car, I sent the broadcast sheet to him by next day Express Mail... I normally send items by 2-Day Priority Mail, but he seemed ready to have heart failure if he had to wait a few days so I took some time off work to retrieve the original and Express Mail it to him.
He received it this afternoon and called me this evening... He is one happy camper now! As I type this, he is busy de-coding the broadcast sheet and his car is in a paint & body shop for the beginning of the restoration.
The car is a black 4 speed 1970 Hemi Challenger R/T!
I need to post the rest of the material I have on Barry's website so there can be more items re-united.
