I good friend traded in his '00 ITR (#279) about 7yrs ago to a Mitsu dealership in Orlando, Florida. We had lunch together last Friday and I asked if he had any ideas of where it was these days. He said it had been stolen. Anyone here have this car or info on it? He traded it in with some very nice parts on it because of a last minute decision. TIA

I have some history on this car if anyone has this vehicle in their possession.

 

I'm on a similar mission to find 00 #779 have you tried running a carfax yet?

 

No, the car came up in casual conversation. I doubt he has any documentation with the VIN on it. That was about 7yrs ago.

 

good luck, i'd love to know what happened.

 

He can get the VIN from his insurance agent.

 

I figured a ITR enthusiast here on HT may have it now.

 

There aren't that many of us left on here anymore. Most folks are on other forums. The ITR forum is rather dead, except for the random parts questions that seem to happen daily.

 

Thanks, I will check ITRCA.

 

Black ITR, right? Was your friend the original owner?

Since it was stolen, then most likely the badge with that # is long separated from the car so I doubt any current owner is aware.

I'm pretty sure I've figured out the VIN. If I'm right, the stripped shell was sold on ebay a while back up in Brooklyn. It did have a FL Cert of Destruction. Good chance it was rebuilt by someone. A carfax would show any recent registrations/inspections.

 

^^^ Sorry for the slow response. Yes, the car was black! He was the second owner to my knowledge.

 

Joe comes through yet again.
