Get a load of this!
Last night I was relaxing after a long day of work and deer hunting, the phone rings as I'm sitting down to drink a couple of beers and watch the Bills get slaughtered by the Pats. The guy on the other end introduces himself and proceeds to tell me he got my phone number by doing a search in the Cuba area. He ended up getting a hold of my brother, since my number is unlisted, and my brother gave him my number. I'm going to strangle my brother.
He then goes on and tells me he is getting rid of a bunch of old Super Chevy issues and he comes across a letter that I wrote to the editor back in 1990 about vins and doing searches and finding previous records. He wondered if I still had the car and if I might be interested in getting the original paperwork for my car. He said he is from the Philly area where my car is supposedly from, and he might be able to help me out. He said if he had the last three digits of my vin, he has a bunch of old paperwork from dealerships from the late 60's and 70's he might be able to match it up. Of course I didn't give him any info, but he told me to check out my vin and give him a call back. He said it is a long shot, but he might match something up, as he had several sales items for 69 Chevelles. He seemed particularly interested in a certain 375hp 396 car that a friend of his bought new and and later sold.
He sounded sincere but the whole thing seemed just too bizzare. It just weirded me out that some stranger from out of the blue would be calling me Sunday night about my car and wanted vin info etc. Wouldn't you be suspicious ? :beers:
