Hello friends, I am wondering if anyone can help me. I recently found the VIN number for my dad's 1966 GTO and I would love to find out if the car still exists. My brother and I have fond memories of the car when we were little kids. My dad traded it in in 1972 at Dugan Buick Pontiac on the Fairhaven bridge in New Bedford Massachusetts. I think that I tracked it down years ago in Fairhaven MA, but I didn't have the VIN at the time. The VIN is 242176G113416. It was a 389 tri-power 4 speed car and it was black. My dad lived in Dartmouth, MA but passed away in 1988 so I don't have much more info on the car. I was only 5 and my brother was 9 and when my parents traded it in. Any help in tracking it down would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Unfortunately hunting for an old car is near impossible. There are no records kept anywhere for that far back.

That being said, it is still worth a call to your DMV as some states do cooperate with hobbyists with this sort of project.

Mass is a hotbed of GTO activity so I would do a lot of posting in as many places as you can. It might just show up somewhere.

Unfortunately Mass is also the land of salt and rust, so old cars are sometimes long ago ate up.

Can you start again at the last known (?) ownership you think you had? That is often the only way a car is found again.

Good luck. Keep us posted on your progress.
