Lost cars

Post by Richard Brickland »

Morning everyone

Can anyone help me trace three cars I used to own?
I am simply interested to see how the cars are doing and where they are now.
First off back in the 90s I used to have a 1969 Dodge Charger 440 auto. The car was orange with a black interior and ran on centrelines.
I bought it from a dealer in Yorkshire and sold it around 1999 to a nice bloke from Warrington. We kept in touch at shows (Tatton Park) for a couple of years but I haven't seen the Charger for 20 years now. Reg number was YMM141G.
Next car was a 1968 Mustang GT fastback 302 with a C4 auto box. Car was also orange (calypso coral) but repainted red soon after I sold it around 2008.
Reg number was MVU965G.
Third car is a 1974 Dodge Charger SE 440 auto. Reg number CCA 206M. Dark green when I owned it but repainted black last time I saw it at the Mopar Nats around 2010.
Ill try and attach photos but technology and me don't mix....

I would be really interested and grateful if anyone has news/pictures on any of these cars.

Hello to people on the forum I know and have helped me out over the years...
Hi to Jamie Dunning, Tony and Sharon Oksien and Duncan Watts. Hope everyone is doing OK.

Thank you

Richard - Chester

Hi Richard,

I'm afraid I can't help with where they are now, but have you looked on the DVLA's tax checker? https://www.gov.uk/check-vehicle-tax

It's quite a useful tool if you want to see if a car is still about or not. Your three cars are still about it seems, but the first one is on SORN. That to me suggests it is a little worn down, as it would be tax and MOT exempt so the only expense of keeping it "taxed" & on-the-road would be insurance. It could be someone wanting to save money of course, but I'd bet it was in need of some work. The other two are showing as taxed, so seemingly alive and well!
1968 VE Valiant VIP (on road)
1972 CH Chrysler by Chrysler ("project")
1969 VF Valiant VIP (best called "spares")

Hey thank you very much... I had a feeling the 69 Charger might be hardest to trace.
Thanks again 👍
