Member Chip6565 recently asked the question whether the Corvette Forum should open up a section for "orphan" documents and parts with VINs- ala NCRS' site.

I picked up on this as I thought it was a great idea years ago, and others did too.

What we are going to do to start with is start a thread up in the Sticky area to allow members with documents and parts with VIN numbers to match those up with current owners of the car they belong to. Please note that this is NOT a place to list "Items Wanted." This section will provide a place where people who have items with VINs and are looking for the cars to match them to.

Administration tells me if this gets busy, they will look at opening a complete section dedicated to Orphan items of all generations. As of today, I am opening these sections in C1/2 and C3 forums.

Thanks very much and please participate if you would like. Feel free to comment or ask questions as well.

So, if you have documents pertaining to a C3 Corvette that has a VIN, or original parts with VINs stamped on them and you would like to use this forum to try to reunite them with the owners, please post your information here. All arrangements, payment, and whatever related details are involved will be a private issue between the parties. (Of course we would LOVE to hear any success stories that result!)

 

Ok, I'll kick this off. '77 vin 06689 I have your owners manual packet. If you own this car PM me.

 

I bought this car new in Boston and sold it in1972 350/350 blue/blue

 

Sounds like a great idea!

This same ORPHANED sub forum doesn't seem to be getting too much activity on the NCRS TDB? Perhaps the larger audience here will have better results!

I too, would love to hear the stories!

Yellow conv. 350/350 sold new at Commonwealth Chev. Boston Mass. I owned this car for a short time in 1972

 

I have the original bill of sale for this red/red Fuel Injected car, sold new at Porter Chevrolet Cambridge Mass.

 

ok, what the hey.

I bought this Protecto plate on ebay because it is close to my vin#, but it is not my vin number, so maybe somebody actually has this 1968.

194678S405710

Of course the plate is inscribed with original owner's name and address and options are indicated on the pop selling dealer, etc 12-19-67

 

Please list this one in the C1/2 Forum's Oprhan thread!

 

I have the original Order Copy (tank sheet) for this 1972 coupe, white with black interior. Last known to be registered in Warner Robbins, GA area.

It is free to the owner of this car - VIN is 1Z37K2S523200.

 

194671S101719, Ontario Orange/Black vinyl int. black conv. top. body colored hardtop.

 

Moosie, what documents, etc do you have for this car?

 

What I have is the 71's window sticker but the top portion where the dealers name would be is cut off, also have two separate sales contracts, one from Reedman (selling dealer) & an installment sales contract from Pa. DMV .
I also found a few documents for a 1967 Coupe (194377S114304)that I had from Hawthorne (New Jersey) Auto Sales, A sales contract stamped "PAID" , A NYS Tax Clearance Certificate, also a (yellow) receipt from Hawthorne Auto sales with figures about the "deal". In addition to an estimate for body work for that '67 Coupe when some jackass ran a stop sign & hit me on the r/s fender & door. I will gladly surrender these papers to who ever wound up with these two cars,,,,,,,,,, FOR FREE ! But they would have to have current proof of their ownership along with current pix's. Peace,,, moosie

 

Thanks Moose... I copied and pasted your 1967 info over to the C1/C2 Orphan thread.

 

You are very welcome VB5869 !
Peace,,, moosie

Everyone, I'm starting to have to delete too many posts here. Please read the OP:

Please note that this is NOT a place to list "Items Wanted." This section will a place where people who have items with VINs and are looking for the cars to match them to.

This thread is for people who have VIN marked items they would like to see get matched up with the cars they go to. Please do not post items, cars, info etc wanted here. That can go in the General or Parts section. Thanks.

 

Not sure why I cant get people to post the stuff in this thread, but from Uncle427:

A good idea. It would be nice if something like this could get going. I bought my first Vette new in 1969, and many more since. I have paperwork for the following:

1969 Fathom Green Vert #10415
1971 Silver Vert #11817
1973 M Blue Vert 454 #01293
