Type 3 Registry - The Lost Cars

[SquareD]

Just a quick note to remind everyone that the Type 3 Registry is also for entering your parts cars and the ones you find in the wrecking/salvage yards. If you are parting out a car, or come across any of these cars that will no longer be road-worthy, please include them in the Registry.

After these cars are gone, we will no longer have any record of their existance. I see a lot of these cars being parted out or scrapped, and it only takes a minute to enter the VIN, the Model, and where they are.

I even have one listing for a car in a junkyard that the individual took the time to take a picture. That was cool, but optional.

I have also revised the Use category to "Parts/Scrapped".

Let me know if you have any questions.

I am attempting to determine how the owner came up with the year of the car. The VIN listed has already been corrected once, based on the fact that the car has a pan with a different VIN. If I do not receive a response from the owner by the end of this week, I will add a comment in the Notes field about the discrepancy between the year and the VIN.

I review all of the entries, and try to help the owners determine the correct year and VIN for their car, if there is a discrepancy. I have already worked through several cases, and this is the last obvious one - until I get the next one. I have even had one case where the VIN on the car did not match the registration, the registration contained an extra number.

I appreciate the eagle eye in looking through the listings, and in this case, it jumps out at you.

Thanks again,

Dennis

SquareD, I've been meaning to inquire in what part of Modesto are you? I lived there ten years ago. We were just north of Standiford between Prescott and Carver. In talking to a friend still living there, sounds like much has changed.

[SquareD]

Hi Squarely,

Yes, Modesto has changed over the years. I have lived here since 1957 and grew up in the sixties (remember the movie "American Graffiti"?). The area you lived in has grown and changed quite a bit.

Sadley, the town has lost some of what made it a nice place to live and grow up in. I believe we are now a nationally ranked city for the number of car thefts!

I live over in the Downey High area.

I remember that area. Yeah, when we moved back to Texas, we could see changes just in the five years we were there. Lots of tagging at that time. It seemed the town got dirtier too: more garbage in the curbs, etc. Damn shame.

It's not mine but i know where sitting in a back pasture / field with a bug or two are a Fastback and a Squareback, if im thinking right, may only be one but i do know at least one of them is a Squareback. Its on Highway 177 just south of Sulphur on east side of the road. Off white, no clue condition but would probably make someone a good parts car or project. Wish i could get more info on it. Just figured i would post on here for anyone that might be here in Oklahoma or know someone that would be able to help.

If I remember right, wasn't "American Grafitti" filmed in Santa Rosa though? I miss the Sacto valley... until I visit and get reminded of the urban sprawl and the ungodly amount of trash and garbage strewn everywhere. Its too bad, cuz the PNW kinda sucks for keeping old cars nice.
