Default Have you seen REO 359?

once upon a time (circa 1999/2000) in a land far, far away (blackburn, vic) a youngish boy owned a broken down 2dr ford escort (REO 359 bronze/baby crap brown). sadly after much trouble with his previous first car (79’ for escort ghia) this youngish boy decided to part with REO 359 and sold it to a family man residing in Donvale (as memory serves). since this time there’s been a void (a void jerry, a void), a yearning to find out what has become of this car and it current whereabouts. have you seen REO 359? It was a 4spd manual and the bottoms of both doors had ‘ford escort’ in silver. have you seen REO 359? The car was advertised via the trading post and via the rsocvic site.

any help?

i just ran the rego through vic roads vehicle status check, and it came back with nothing..

yeah, kinda spewin' i don't have a VIN number for it, may have passed on all the paperwork when i sold the car or thrown it out, don't remember. i think the only option i might have is if i can find out the VIN from my previous insurance policies (i'm sure that will be easy enough....) even then a VIN isn't much good if it's not attached to someone's name and address. looks as though i'm going to have to use the collective power of my brain. thanks for posting up the link and trying it though.
