LOOKING FOR THIS 1969 Mach 1 VIN: 9T02M144329

VIN:  9T02M144329

It took me a long time to find VIN, so I'm now posting on a few sites that might have some chance of having some info.   As I've said elsewhere, I know it is a long shot, but if I don't make the effort, I'll have no shot...  

I'm interested in location or info, regardless of condition or location.  I'm in SE Virginia, but will travel as needed.

1969, Lime Gold, 4 speed, 4 bbl, 351W, had factory tach.  I sold it in 1974(?).  (Car may have gone through many iterations after this many years.)

Car was orginally bought/sold/bought in Eastern North Carolina, Edgecombe Motor Company, Tarboro, NC.  Whitakers, NC area.  Maybe Rocky Mount after that.

Thanks for any help.

(posting here was recommended by someone on Vintage-Mustang forum.  Just a stock photo, but that's pretty much how it looked.  it had been rode hard by the time I bought it even though it was only a couple of years old.)

I checked our little informal registry here, the closest I came is by  user Hux who registered a 351-4V as unit number 144XXX. As you said, the odds of a 50 year old car surviving 47 years after you sold it are slim, to put it mildly. Good luck on your search, though, you never know.

I knew I had seen pictures of this car before. Are you sure you have the correct VIN? Ah, reading more closely I see the photo is not the same car.

The pic he posted was a stock photo he found on the web. He said so in his post. Not his long lost one. 

 

Curious why people look for cars they gave up long ago ?

Cuz we realize we made a foolish mistake selling it, and want it back.

Thanks.  The one I'm looking for also came through Richmond DSO and with a 3.25, with a little earlier production date.  Again, thank you for taking the time to search and to respond.

Guessing that production date is possibly a typo.  

***************************

144691 looks like it rolled off Metuchen line 3 days after mine.  

So close, but so very far!!!!   Ha!

Thanks again for sharing the info.

Certainly could be, or Hux's car is a '70. I don't know for sure.
