Here are the two hand sealed notarized letters from Dan Maglio who was related to the owner and was working at Battaglia Auto Body when the car was brought to them from Motion Performance by Richie Brown. One was done for Mike Conliff other for me. Blacked out addresses to protect them. One more notarized letter coming. Having trouble adding one from Mike too big.

Great research Barry - it is awkward though that the attesters are including the VIN of the car. How can anyone recall the VIN from 40+ years ago? Also, Dan says that it was a &quot;brand new vehicle&quot; - in January of 1969?

Don't get me wrong - I love the research &amp; believe that you are onto something here. Just need to try to explain the data as it is revealed.

Keep it up - fascinating!

Him remembering the vin was the first thing that came to my mind!

Re: Motion Nova ???????
 

Also - the notary stamp. In PA they don't get to hand write in the year of expiration. Maybe different in other states?

Re: Motion Nova ???????
 

3rd owner that bought the car in Nov. 13, 1975 and was still titled in his name when I got the car.

Re: Motion Nova ???????
 

I can tell you for a fact that New York notary people writes in the expiration on the ones they do and the ones from New Jersey came in the mail that way also so they must be able to do the same.

Remembering VINs as being suspicious?

I can recite all the VINs from all my Mopars from the past 40 years off the top of my head. (Yes, I have that Rain Man syndrome). So I think you are grasping when you fault a previous owner for remembering a VIN number from a memorable (to him) old car.

As for my anniversary date, or my wife's age or birthday????...well that's another topic. [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/grin.gif[/img]

As for other people involved in the car's history, (painters, etc,) I wouldn't think there would be a problem with the requestor of the info giving the interviewee the VIN number just in case that person had some documentation or invoices to compare it to.
