Chevy Guy Searching for Long Lost Car
 

A repeat post from the Chevy Forum (for us non-Chevy guys)


This guy has a search going on eBay.
Has anyone seen his Impala? It was stolen in 1990!

Pantera,Check out the November Issue of Hemmings Muscle Machines.On page 30-35 is a feature on a 1973 Pantera De Tomaso GTS.Pretty cool car,if you are into them,& I am guessing you are!
Even the current owner somewhat resembles you.. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...mlins/grin.gif

Re: Chevy Guy Searching for Long Lost Car
 

A lot of Impala info crosses my desk. If this car was a '58-'64 I may be able to help. But since the ebay number is no longer any good, perhaps someone could forward the VIN to me and I can check.

Yeah the link does not work.

Re: Chevy Guy Searching for Long Lost Car
 

Verne, I don't know who you are or what you do but have you ever heard of a Charlie Collins Chevrolet in Bayonne circa. 1969? My 69 Nova was supposedly bought there but I can't find any info about them. NJ DMV has sent me a title search request form that is on its way back to them and Bayonne chamber of commerce has ignored my emails. Any help greatly appreciated. Sorry to cloud up this thread with my problems and I wish the guy luck finding his Impala. Marc

Re: Chevy Guy Searching for Long Lost Car
 

Marc,
I've been documenting original '58-'64 full size cars since '82. By "documenting", I mean I record all the numbers, codes and features of every original car that crosses my path, either from junk yards or by permission of the owner. I maintain a database with all that info, from roughly 2000 cars so far. But those are the only years I focus on.
Unfortunately, I do not have any recollection or info about Charlie Collins Chevrolet.
I checked a dealer zone list that the NCRS site has created, and it doesn't come up there either. Sorry I can't be of more help.

No problem Verne. I appreciate you trying and I have faith NJ DMV may be of help. Marc

Mike, I could feel the sarcasm leaping from my screen. I was actually suprised they sent me a form so fast. I emailed them to request it and it arrived at my house 3 days later. I wish the Chamber of Commerce was so efficient. Charlie Collins Chevrolet Mike??? My grandmother grew up in Bayonne (a long time ago) if she were still among us I could ask her about old Charlie. https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...s/confused.gif

Try contacting the local newspaper advertizing dept. It needs to be the oldest one in the area. They may be able to shed some light on the Dealer for you.

I wish you good luck and hopefully the NJDMV will come through for you. Their records only go back about 7 years and anything older than that is removed from the system and archived (so I was told). Again good luck!
