Help to find current phone # of previous owner (have his name and current address)

[jkarolyi]

Hi All,

I'm looking for a previous owner of a 911 I bought recently. The owner before the guy I bought it from had the engine rebuilt and I need to find out what parts he had used and who performed the work. All I had to work with was his name and phone number, which was "disconnected or no longer in service", and the fact that he lived in Fountain Valley, CA.

I did one of those $14.95 reverse phone number lookups (it was an unlisted number, so I had to pay) and got an address with his name on it! Didn't tell the search engine his name, so this is legit, but they still list the "bad" phone number as valid...any way to find out a current phone number for an address, unlisted or otherwise?

Name and address removed per forum rules. -Z-man.

Wondering if anyone here can help me out if they subscribe to a background check service or such, or can at least point me in the right direction. Otherwise, i'm going to have to drive a couple of hours each way and hope they're home! Thanks for any help.

Why not start by sending a letter? A fellow enthuisiast might be likely to pick up the phone and call.

That's a great idea...duh...why didn't I think of that! I'll send a picture of the car with the letter so hopefully he'll call me back. Thanks.

(Sorry for violating the rules, I forgot about that rule. I think I had a couple of beers when I wrote this post )

Tried contacting the first owner of my car and he never wrote back. From what I could find he had the car on the track pretty regularly and took immaculate care of the car. Have every receipt from the day he signed the paper work.

Second owner only had the car 18 months and only drove it 2900 miles. I have logged 54,000 miles and the odometer reads 93,000 and change
