No items were claimed last month, but...

Paul mailed in a request for a fender tag decode for his 1970 Duster 340. In his letter, he mentioned getting a TA 340 block with it so I checked my registry files for the VIN & the car had been reported before!

Nick at had seen the car at the Spring Fling show in Van Nuys in 2012 & sent a photo of it to me, so I was sure the car was still out there.

I asked about it on a few different forums, but within 4 minutes of posting about the car on Moparts.com , the owner's pal Chris replied! From there it was just a matter of putting the car owner in touch with Paul.

Earl & Paul were able to come to an agreement rather quickly, so courtesy of Sourosh, here is a photo of Earl & Paul with the engine all loaded up for the drive home to be reunited with the AAR Cuda it came from.

While talking with Earl, he had mentioned having owned a few different cars over the years like most of us, so I asked what I always ask - "Did you ever find any broadcast sheets in any of them that did not match the car they were found in?" His reply was "Yes, one, it is for a 1970 440-6 Cuda."

Earl was kind enough to send it in, so here it is, our first 'IOTM' for 2018! The VIN is BS23V0B192282.

As always, proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim this item.

Special thanks to Nick, Paul, Chris, Earl for the help & to Sourosh for the use of his photo!

It always feels good when a 'match' is made & others are always on the horizon.

Over 90 more VINs for items ready to claim have been loaded up to start out the new year. Hammy New Year & may 2018 treat us all well!

Four more items were claimed last month! What a great way to start the new year. :-)

We also had four items sent in for a 1970 Challenger, the VIN is JH23C0B359781 - Ray sold the car & forgot that he had these two broadcast sheets, the Consumer Information sheet & the original warranty in his safe. He had sold the car & when he found these, he contacted the buyer, but that buyer had sold the car in 2014 & did not keep a record of the new owners name, so all we know is that it went to Missouri. It was a 48,000 mile car in excellent condition when Ray sold it, so chances are quite high that the car still exists!

As always, proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim this item.

Thanks for sending these in Ray. I will let you know when they are claimed!

March 2018 is the 13th Anniversary for going online with this site!

Thanks so much to all our volunteers, for the monetary donations & to all the people that have sent original items they have found from all over the world, it has been a wonderful 13 years.

No items were claimed last month, but 16 new items were added, so we now have over 8,800 items waiting to be claimed.

Our IOTM for our 13th Anniversary is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 440-6 Super Bee, the VIN is WM23V0G163508

The former owner of this Super Bee said he had sold the car to someone in Japan, so hopefully with the world-wide audience we have here, the car's owner will hear of this broadcast sheet & claim it.

As always, proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim this item.

Thanks again to all of our supporters, the site would not be what it is today without all of you!

No items were claimed last month.

Our IOTM for April just came in the mail this week, it is for a 1970 Charger R/T SE, the VIN is XS29U0G105713

This sheet is damaged, one whole corner is missing but thankfully the VIN is intact.

As always, proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim this item.

Thanks for sending it in Bruce!

No items were claimed in April.

Our IOTM for May was sent in back in 2010 & it is a bit of a mystery.

It was found in another car, but as you can see it is damaged & the last two digits of the VIN are missing.

It is for a 1969 Road Runner convertible with a 383, column shift automatic, Y2 paint & a black bench seat interior, the partial VIN is RM27H9G1235 something, something, thus the mystery.......

So in addition to the normal proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists, confirmation of the VON will be required to claim this item.

Thanks for sending it in Craig!

Two more items were claimed in May!

Several new items were added as well. The 'Found' section is now approaching 9000 items available for the owners of the matching cars to claim. Thanks to everyone that has sent in new items & helped out along the way!

Our IOTM for June is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Cuda 340. This sheet was found inside of a bucket seat of another car, which is so common.

The VIN on this broadcast sheet is BS23H0B324753

As always proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim it.

Thanks for sending it in DJ!

Ah, July is finally here! We are less than 2 weeks away from the Carlisle show!

A pal let me drive her green Challenger today & I do love green. So with the month & color in mind, I selected the newest IOTM for another green Challenger scheduled for a hoped-for-production day in July of 1970.

Our IOTM is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Challenger R/T with a 383. This sheet was handed over in person with a few others by my pal Gene - he told me out of a 1970 Fury 4-door that he wanted to sell that day. It was mine not long after that & I still love driving it.

Thanks Gene!

The VIN on this broadcast sheet is JS23N0B440628

As always proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim it.

If any one reading this has a broadcast sheet, dealership records or anything else that they would like to donate to the cause at Carlisle please email me Click Here before the show with what you have & a location / day so I can find you?

Thanks again to all to those that have helped out along the way & I will see some of you very soon!

Barry Washington

With the items handed over in person at the Carlisle show, our Found Section here now has items for over 9000 cars waiting to be claimed!

We also had three more records claimed in July!

Our IOTM is actually 3 items for the same car this month. Two broadcast sheets as well as the carbon paper that was used in between them.

The VIN on these is JS23N0B100745 - a 1970 Challenger R/T with the 383.

These were handed over in person at the Carlisle show, thanks Peter!

This car was for sale on Ebay back in February of 2016, does anyone know where it is or who owns it now?

As always proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim it.

Barry Washington

We had two more records claimed in August!

Our IOTM for September is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Cuda with a 383, the VIN is BS23N0B388290

As always proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim it.

Barry Washington

We had another record claimed in September! The owner found a broadcast sheet in his 1970 Challenger for a different one that he said he would mail in, so stay tuned for that addition.

Thanks James!

Keeping with that 1970 Challenger theme, our IOTM for October is a broadcast sheet for another 1970 Challenger. This one is for a Challenger R/T convertible, the VIN is JS27N0B201366

Thanks for sending this one in Ronald!

As always proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim it.

No records were claimed in October.

Our IOTM for November is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Challenger with a 318 engine & 3-speed stick, one of my favorite combinations to drive!

The VIN is JH23G0B179607.

As always proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim it.

Barry Washington

A broadcast sheet for an AAR Cuda was claimed in November!

Our IOTM for December is a broadcast sheet for a 1970 Coronet sedan with a blue bench seat interior. This is odd because it was found inside a tan bucket seat in a 1970 Charger. Normally broadcast sheets are found in the same interior color & type of seat, so this find is unusual. Perhaps an employee was just tucking it out of the way, but we may never know for sure...

The VIN on it is WH41G0G193582;

Thanks for sending it in Chris!

As always proof of legal ownership & proof the car still exists will be required to claim it.

I own one of these cars myself along with 3 other 1970 four doors, so I appreciate the history as well as driving these cars just as much as the two door cars.
