eBay finds

I looked at a 67? I believe,40k milage, GTX 426 Hemi last year, automatic, rear defroster, it was ready for paint(cinammon brown) and the engine needed assembled, very clean, I got him down to 17k and frickin balked....one of the great mistakes I guess. I guess if i was a big Mopar fan...
side note Pete: I wouldve restored to original

Yes,they are well out of my reach.Just to torture me a little more,I ran into an old co-worker of mine last year who swore he saw the GTX not far from here.It was just parked on the side of the street.The car is hard to miss if it's still painted the same as it was.It was a pearl white base with all different colored "snots" all over it.I went looking for it that weekend but couldn't find it.They probably don't even know they have an original hemi chassis car.Would I tell them?I don't know how that would go.I would really love to have it back,that's for sure.

Bruce,the hemi was a GTX if I remember right.I've tried to forget about it but I have some "fun loving" friends who take great joy in bringing up the subject when we're all together.I never got it registered because it was set up to run super stock at the drags and I never finished getting it changed over for the street.Someone told me they saw the car a little while after I sold it and they had already pulled out the hemi and replaced it with a 318.I did have a 69 road runner with the 383 that I drove for quite awhile.That was a nice car but nothing like the GTX.I couldn't come close to being able to afford most of my old hotrods these days.I think that's what attracted me to the boats.You can still find vintage boats that are affordable and easy to hotrod if you want to.

John,
You haven't lost me yet!!

Bruce,
I believe that you (or your father) as the registrant are entitled to obtain the HIN from one of the years it was registered in your family name.I assume it was in Maine. The state of ME should have that historical info available. The state is reluctant to share anything about anybody else. Once you have the number, you can work the back door. Good luck. This stuff is like an easter egg hunt. I live about 20 minutes from Webers and some day when I had nothing better to do I was intending to take a look. Looks like the auction is close to over anyway.

Bruce,
If you have a friend inside a law enforcement agency, I think they can track the HIN through prior registrations. In New Hampshire (where I have tried to track a boat's history) they are unwilling to share this info with private individuals.The archived information is available but restricted.

So I gather this was some time ago when this all took place.That makes it a little easier to understand. Don't feel too bad.I owned a plymouth hemi when I was 18 and sold it for 1300 dollars because I thought I was getting drafted.I didn't have to go but the hemi was gone forever.

Bruce,I just looked at "Lucifer" for the first time. I'm really surprised you would have traded away that beautiful boat.Is there a history of mental illness in your family or do you just drink to excess?
Kidding aside,I hope you find it again.

Does it have "Lucifer" potential?

like the frosty look of the boat.... I like the center console of the boat, it gives some car style....
A cover could help a lot!!!

That must have been a fun ride. How were the roads?

It has and it's staying yuckytan. The Barracuda will be the next project.

The name on the Carver is "Shelly's Sanity" the mustang will be "Insanity" and finally, the Cuda will be "Committed".

Although...the thought crossed my mind that if I ever came across a 66 Nautique

Insanity might be a better name...
