One of the frequenters on the Lost Muscle Cars on FB ( https://www.facebook.com/lostmusclecars/) recommended that I look for help through here. Need help to find this. Here is my 68 Formula S Notch-roof Barracuda, VIN BH23H8B195211 that I'm looking for.This car has history and sentimental value to me.Here's part of my story - My best friend, Max Harris(he has passed on) in the Air Force was the 2nd owner of it;he bought it around 1970. Over the years as his family grew, he quit taking it overseas with him. I would "buy" it from him when he shipped out, and he would "buy" it back when he returned as I shipped out. I was the last one to have it 1988 at Makah AFS on the tip of Washington State. Being out there for a few years, I rebuilt it, inside and out. When I got overseas orders, he was still overseas, so I was going to store it until one of us returned as I had a family and was taking the family van with us. I received a letter from him saying that I should sell it. It was years later that I found out that he didn't send that letter;his wife did. I sold it to SSgt Austin Brown who was headed to Avon Park AFS in Florida. Our agreement was that we would stay in touch in case he wanted to sell it and I would have 1st preference to buy it back. We stayed in touch until I retired in Jan 1994. In my last move, I lost contact with him and wasn't able to locate him after that, even through friends from the old radar site in WA. I would search the internet with the VIN every now and then, but always nothing. I had major medical problems in 2009 and 2010, and then moved to Arizona in 2011. I didn't restart my internet search until 2012.I then found that it had sold twice on Ebay - once in 2010; http://www.usedcarsfsbo.com/asp/Item.asp?soldid=2019&make=Plymouth&theday=5/16/2010 , and then again in 2011: http://usedcarsfsbo.com/asp/Item.asp?soldid=31513&make=Plymouth&theday=7/10/2011. I was able to contact the person who sold it in 2011 who told me that he kept no record pertaining to the sale.Interesting to note is that he told me it was still under Florida registration when he got it, fixed it up and flipped it. Two of the pictures with the mag wheels are what it looked like when I owned it. One of the subsequent owners who flipped it in 2011 added the red stripes,dog-dish hubcaps and steel wheels. Please pass this on and help me in my search. If you have any info, please contact me through PM.Thanks for your help in this search as this car means a lot to me and to my god-daughter (max's daughter).
