Finding Dads Car

Hey guys. Even if no one on this site is interested in me finding my Dads old '64 Impala SS, could you at least direct me to a site that could help?? I'm taking this serious now. The more I think about it, the more owning my DAD's old Impala means to me. Please help. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

I was being serious. I hope you don't mind me asking, but is your dad still alive? If yes, then ask him who he sold it to, or where they are from. If he can remember the last name, scour the phone book! If your dad passed on, I'm sorry. I know what it's like, because my dad passed away when i was 16. See if you can come up with a name, then start calling away. All you have to go on is a long shot. Stick it out, and you'll find it. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

No John, My Dad is still alive. And he's coming to visit me this month. Don't think hs isn't going to get bombarded with questions either. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

A good place to start is your dads auto insurance company. There is a chance they have the VIN. If he has a different company now than he did back then, he may remember who he had. An old license plate hanging on the wall somewhere would be a good start too. Good luck...Tony

I may have found the vin on this thing.. Help me out here. Is this a '64 Impala?? (this is from a 1967 registration cert.. and the handwriting is tough to decipher) My best guess... : HIH47T242434.......OR 41447T242434.... any help? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Ed,
Here is the info on the Vin for your dads car, anything else I can do to help let me know. Maybe someone here from PA can interject on DMV hopes(Marlin?). The clickable link below can help anyone here for decoding Chevy VIN's and Cowl Tags up to 69, go to the site and click on "Decode VIN or Cowl Tag".
Thanks,

Now, start searching. Go to the dmv, or call them, as i think you can search vin numbers for a specific car. Don't quote me on this though. It's your best bet. Good luck!
