Good morning all,
I'm reaching out to the classic car community for help locating my dad's old 1979 Chevy Suburban. This vehicle holds a lot of sentimental value, as it was a beloved family car that we had many great memories in growing up.
The details are:
- 1979 Chevy Suburban
- VIN #: CKL169F187287
- Color: Tan and Beige
- 1/2 ton 4WD model
- 350 V8 engine
- Ordered directly from Chevy and built at the Fremont plant
My dad purchased this Suburban brand new back in 1979. We had it for many years before eventually selling it in April 1990. I'm not sure who the buyer was. But I do know that it was titled 6 time in New Jersey after my Dad sold it and the last time it titled in NJ was 2003. I was worried that this most likely ment it was scrapped (it still might have been) but I did confirm with NJ MVC that there has never been a salivate title issued in NJ it.
I've been trying to track down this vehicle's current owner and location but haven't had any luck. I'm hoping someone in the classic car community might have some information or a suggestion on how I might be able to go about locating the vehicle/owner.
I would be highly grateful if you had any ideas that might be helpful with this search. Even the tiniest information could help point me in the right direction. Please reach out if you can assist in any way.
Thank you for your time and consideration. I appreciate any help the community can provide locating my dad's old Suburban.
Thank you all in advance,
Brian
