TRYING TO LOCATE A 1993 MUSTANG COUPE I SOLD IN 1999
FORD DARK BLUR
MINI TUBBED
10 POINT CAGE
FULL INTERIOR
FULL POWER
TINTED REAR GLASS
LADDER BAR SUSPENSION
4:56 GEARS
PROSTAR RIMS
VIN IS 1FACP40E3PF203991
I AM HOPING THAT SOMEONE OUT THERE KNOWS SOMEONE THAT CAN HELP ME FIND THIS CAR. I KEEP RUNNING INTO DEADENDS.
CARFAX IS NO GOOD
SECRETARY OF STATE WON'T GIVE PERSONEL INFO
BERKLEY,IL. POLICE WON'T EVEN RUN THE VIN, AND GO TO THE HOUSE TO GIVE THE OWNER MY NAME AND NUMBER TO CALL ME.
I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING SURELY AT LEAST ONE PERSON CAN HELP ME FIND THIS CAR.

I DID GO BACK TO TOUR POSTING, AND FOR PART OF IT HELPFUL, BUT PUTTING AN AD IT THE LOCAL PAPER COULS STILL TAKE FOREVER TO FIND IT.
TO ANSWER THE OTHER QUESTION, WE I SOLD THE CAR, AND WOULD LIKE TO BUY IT BACK.

Taking forever is still better than not finding it at all.

Excursion,
At the risk of sounding rude these fine people have given you suggestions that you have shot down.
We appreciate you as a member and hope you stay around after you find your car, but we are not a locator service for you.
You can accept the help or not, it is up to you but these guys have practically dropped the answers in your lap.
Do you want us to lead you by the hand to your old car?
The last poster is correct, typing in caps is like your yelling at us.
I suggest you do your own homework if you do not like the answers you are getting.
Try here it costs but it may be your solution...

no one is yelling at anyone i appriciate any help or suggestions i can get, however everyone is giving me suggestions i have mentioned do not work. i was hoping one of our members was a police office, and would be able to run the vin for me. that is the only way to get an address from a vin.
thanks for all your help

If there were a cop on here i dont think it would be right to ask him to run the vin # for you. He doesnt know anything about you plus i think you would be putting his job at risk for doing it!
bjuice
06-27-2007, 03:49 PM
i am EX LAW- ENFORCEMENT...City Police and S.C. State Trooper..
i have been out of the business since 1995...back then we could run whatever vin,tag#,dl#..etc......whith no questions ask...but now keep in mind this was before all the privacy laws took place..DMV could still give out a registered owners name etc....
i would think you could still have it done..you mentioned a family member was a deputy..i would say there was a way he could run the vin# and get by with it..this is just my opinion.
i tell ya what..i still have a few guys i can speak to. i will see what they have to say about all this ..privacy issue's etc....if they can run it without any problems i will have it done for you....i will have to get with the right one i know real good..

LEO can you tell us if this car was registered when you sold it or was it a all out drag car with no title. Because if thats the case the vin will only show the last registered owner.
EXCURSION
06-27-2007, 05:20 PM
the car was registered on the street, under my name, and according to carfax the title was reregistered under the new owner that bought the car in berkley,il. it was a street car that my wife and i showed on the weekends, and ended up short selling it.
thanks

Leo hang tight if there ever was a place to get help its here. But like they say Rome was not built in a day. But if you will give Brian the time he can do what he can. And also you can PM Brian your phone # where to get ahold of you so he can cover himself. Just keep the faith and don't play with fire.

Brian I don't think it is worth putting you or anyone elses ass in a sling over...I think there are enough ways to locate it without possible trouble for anyone....I will repeat my suggestion..Get the carfax and that gives you the city and state and then start your search from there...I mean how many of the cars are drag cars in the same city...Once you have a city then we all have a chance to either have a member there or know someone there....This ain't rocket science to find a car in the US...Hell we can side track a school bus, make customers disappear like smoke and all in the purpose of helping someone that has been scammed or looking for a car...so give us the city

I am sorry you feel that way.
We have offered all the help we know of and yet it isn't enough for you.
You admit that your family member in law enforcement would get into trouble if he pulled some strings so why do you want one of our members to get into trouble?
Your logic is flawed.
Maybe I should fly out, take you by the hand and go walking the streets until we find your car.
To say we are not a helpful group is way off base buddy boy.
Have you asked your track buddies if they know where your car is?
Maybe you think we have a magic 8 ball that will tell us where your old car is.
Again, I am sorry that your having troubles but like I said we have done what we can, accept it or not, that is up to you.
But do not come in here slamming us and expect us to roll over like a whipped pup. It aint gonna happen.
jbsjunk
06-28-2007, 01:01 PM
Unlikely to help? Haven't you been reading the posts trying to help? Guess not. We are not going to find your car for you, we did provide several resorces to help in your quest to find your old car. If you can't use these and help yourself, I guess your old car is in better hands where it's at.
BTW, I don't need to yell, and you heard me just fine.

You've been offered tons of advise, you just choose not to take it. Sounds like your waiting for someone to drive the damn thing up in your driveway with a red bow on it. Lottsa people get pissed when they ask a question and get an answer they don't want to hear. Tells the rest of us alot about the person doin' the asking!
Good Luck, but I'm done with ya.

This loser is a complete waste of time and I wouldn't even read the posts if it weren't so entertaining.I have personally seen you guys help most eveyone that comes along needing assistance or guidance in one form or another.But they had a little respect and patience,unlike "Leo" or whatever his name is,which,by the way,he never has come forth with any detailed info on himself.Oh yeah,I forgot he did mention that he runs a "well known business".What the hell is that about?There must be more than one "well known business"in his area?For someone looking for something,he seems to be making himself pretty hard to find or even figure out.He acts pretty damn shady,if you ask me.

Have you tried going to dogpile.com and searching through the white page listing? Just enter the name and state and leave the city blank. It will return all the Tim Rich's in that state. You can search every state and call many of them. It's alot of work but if you want the car badly enough, it is an alternative.

02-19-2008, 07:49 PM
The same police officer that ran your old vin number can also check and see which state Tim has relocated his drivers license to. That is IF his Department does not care......mine would without a valid reason...Investigation, Missing Etc...Lookin for an old car wouldn't qualify. Good luck!
