Hi everyone, don't get a chance to get on the site anymore. I'm too busy driving the Charger..........or fishin... anyway if Danny 69500 or nascarxx29 would check these numbers out we might put a friend of mine back together with his 69 Charger 500!

A little background first.Just   got back from a show in Naples and ran into Bob and his 69 RoadRunner.  Bob purchased the Charger in 1976 when he was 16 yrs old. He drove it as a daily driver in Long Island New York til Dec 1982 when it was stolen and never recovered.

I talked with him at length and his title has the VIN as XS29L9B144166 and the first thing I said it should be XX29L9B144166.

I then told him they may have recovered the car but since his title says XS and the car may say XX he may never have been notified.

I know Danny and nascarxx29 have some of the vins and was hoping they or anyone who has info on this Charger 500 could help with some info!

The Charger was a Dark Green, White Stripe, Black Interior auto console 440 v8 but had been painted Dukes of Hazard ORANGE when stolen.

Thanks in advance for any info and I can get anyone who has information in touch with Bob with a Phone Call, just PM me or email HEMI68ChargerRT426Bullitt@msn.com

Thanks! Steve

Hope your buddy finds it Steve. Bout time you showed your face again ;D
By the way, I have been doin a lot of fishing myself :nana:

69_500

Well I do have some info on that car, but nothing other than what you listed in your post. I had a note that it was titled as XS29L9B144166, but was a 500, have it listed as F8 green with a white tail stripe.
I had it wrote down as stolen in 1983, but my information came second hand from someone not straight from the owner it was stolen from. I'll make a note of where it was when stolen, and that at the time it was painted Orange. Sorry couldn't be of any more help to you. It is one of the early 500's as in one of the first ones to not be a HEMI that is.

KMPX2

From whay i understand the XS was a common mistake on those cars. But I would have to say that was cut up years ago & sold as parts.

XS29J8

Thanks for all the replies. I believe it was cut up for parts also, KMPX2.

nascarxx29, I had hoped you might know this car being from the area.

Danny he has the police report and other info you might want. If you'd like to talk to Bob, I'll PM his phone number.

Chris, I forgot about the registry, bad new it's not in your database.

Stve, there are real fish here in my back yard..........and a gator or two......speakin of fisin...time to go!!!!!!!!

THANKS!

Didn't mean to be a kill joy, I wish you all the luck in the world helping your friend.

Steve, I would love to talk to him. Does he have any more information on the car? Like some old photo's or anything? If he has the title, does he happen to still have the buildsheet as well? Or even a pencil rubbing of the fender tag?

Its likely that the car was parted out years ago. Since in 1982 a Charger 500 wasn't bringing very much money, actually I think many went for less than a standard R/T back in those years. So it would have likely either been parted out, or cloned into a Daytona. I'm guessing more along the lines of stripped and parted out though.

Hi Danny, I'll PM his phone number, I'm not sure he has the fender tag info vut he has the title and police report.

Any luck Danny? I'll call Bob and tell him you're trying to get hold of him. I'll see him this Saturday at a big show in Ft. Myers!

No luck yet on finding any more information on the car. I wasn't home until really late last night so I didn't call him. I'll give him a call today.

I tried to call him last week but didn't get an answer, and then it slipped my mind later on. Since its Sunday and I figure he is probably eating lunch now, I'll try to give him a call in about an hour.

Soooooo, what did he have to say?  Did you guys find the car?

69_500

Didn't find the car but had about a 2 hour conversation with him on Sunday. Should be getting some additional information mailed to me about the car. No luck on finding it, but some other interesting things about the car.

Like what?   :shruggy:

Who paid for the long distance call?   :D


69_500

I paid for the call.

He had the car broken into 2 weeks before it was stolen, car was stolen after being pulled over by the same cop that did the break in report 2 weeks prior. He was pulled over for a wobbling tire, was told to leave the car there and pick it up tomorrow. Cop gave him a ride home, he went back the next day to the 3 lane busy road as he describes it, and the car was gone. Was parked on the side of the road, under a street lamp on a 3 lane road in New York.

XS29J8

Danny thats the story he told me I had forgotten most of the details. We're going to the Florida Mopar Nats in Ft Lauderdale Sunday and I'll be talking to him again. Hope he sends you some interesting info!

COP Sounds kinda fishy doesn't he......speakin of fish....time to go..........

Cop did sound fishy, considering he said that he didn't get a ticket but the cop refused to allow him to move the vehicle. Also that it was 3 weeks after his car was broken into and the radio stolen. The same cop who did that report is the one who pulled him over 3 weeks later and made him leave the car. Knowing that he let his insurance lapse.

ChargerHound69

???  All of a sudden the COP did it.  It was in New York in the early 80's, but it had to be the COP??

It couldn't have been those thugs just cruising by and seeing a Dodge Charger on the side of the road unattended.
:-\

bad1032

Yep cops fault owner wasnt smart enough to have it towed that night. Makes sence to me, NOT. Some of these statements people make are the reason some people shouldnt breed.
