    I know this is probably a long shot... but I have been trying to track down my father’s 1985 308 gtsi (red w/ targa top). I have tracked it as far as going to T. Rutlands in 2013 when my father passed away, and was fixed instead of parted out. Carfax shows that the vehicle has been registered from 2013-current in Marietta, GA but no info on plates or owner. I don’t really know how to pursue this from here, so I’m turning to you guys for help.

    V.I.N. # on the car is ZFFLA13B000053163

    This car means more than anything to me as he bought it brand new and I was lucky enough to learn how to drive in that car many years later and shared many great times in that car. Any help or direction would be greatly appreciated, thank you so much

    Caleb Good morning and welcome!

    Vin# = 84 Euro Qv. Have you contacted T Redlands by chance? Or looked the Vin. up on Carfax? I feel pretty confident someone here will have info on your Dads QV.
    +1 with Dr. Tommy’s suggestion.

    I live in Marietta, I'll keep an eye out. As stated above, Mitch is a great resource. 4re308 is his f-chat handle.

    Hi all, thank you guys for your kind words. I am researching the VIN and am trying to find some answers as to where this car is. I've got several emails and calls out, I am hoping some information comes back to me and I can report back to Caleb. :) I'll keep you posted!
