vin # 84917 location

#1 Post by Robert Doty »

There was a recent listing in the classified/parts for a Vin# 84917 plate. I owned this car which is a '58 Speedster. I sold it in 1989 while living in Kirkland, WA and have been wondering what happened to it. A friend noticed the ad and emailed me but the ad was removed shortly after he noticed it. Has it been parted out? Is it still in existence? Why would the vin plate for 84917 be for sale? I would be interested to know more about this matter if anyone knows.

Robert,

That's quite interesting. Try talking to the moderators about retrieving the deleted post.

Edwin,

I have been in contact with them and given a history of the vin#84917. My speedster had this vin # painted in the front trunk area between the spare and the firewall. The person who did the prepurchase inspection showed me the # and its location. My inspector may have been in error though he would have no reason to fabricate a story.
