    Any HELP in finding previous owners?

    Hello,

    I am looking for the previous owners of my 911.
    I bought the car in 2005 , a barn find in LA via an car dealer.
    I also got a lot of titles with it from the 70's and 80"s from 2 previous owners.
    Black licence plate XXY 288 , CA 84.
    They are/were both situated in CA state at that time.
    I have titles of 1 owner that stretches from 1976 till 1983 which was situated in Whittier CA.
    And I have 1 title of 1 owner from 1974 which was situated in Long Beach CA.
    I wrote them several letters some time ago, no response.
    A friend of mine from the dutch R Gruppe advised me to try it on this site.
    So my question is :
    Can someone visit/check these 2 addresses ??
    I did not put any names or addresses on this site ( not so polite) but If you are nearby and willing to check these addresses I can give you the names and addresses.
    Please let me know via PM and kind rgds Egbert from Holland.
    I would really appreciate it

    is there a Dutch owner's group like PCA in the US? PCA helped me some

    also a nice letter ("I have your former car - would you like to see it?") could be sent if you have addresses

    What you mean to say is that I should try at PCA??
    No such thing in Holland.
    I do have the addresses and I wrote several letters already and no reply so maybe people passed away or don't live there anymore.
    So that is why I preferred an alternative way e.g. people living close by

    Nice colour Egbert. I managed to find two of my car's previous owners in the US, but not the original one. Still trying, on the Lost and Found.

    if there are no clubs there, then try the governmental agency that issues license plates - here, some states will send a letter to the last know address of a PO

    I traced my '73 back to the Porsche dealer in Columbus Ohio. Actually Porsche of Germany did that for me. Then the trail stopped.

    I've never had much luck tracing my cars back. I can get close but that's not good enough. It usually takes years to do this. I just don't have the energy for all of that any more.
