Looking for the first owner
Hello from Germany,
First of all I have to admit, that I "kidnaped" a white 911 3.2 that was build in 11/85 from the USA. A friend found the car in CA and reimported the car for me to Germany. It is a well-kept car that was owned by the original perchuaser from 1986 to 2005. I have the title from 1986. However, I have no idea, if the previous owner kept his adress. The car was sold by Sonnen motors, CA. I heard, that the car had been sold by order. Unfortunatly I got no response from there.
I wrote to Burbank, California to get in contact with the previous owner. But there was no response, too. I have no telephonnummer or email for another try. Carfax gives no hints.
I am so curious and I really like to know, what my 911 had expericened within her first 20 years of life. I think it would be very interesting to talk to the first owner.
Do you have an idea, how I can get in contact with him ? Maybe somebody lives in Burbank and likes to have a look, if the known address is still correct ?
best regards
Ronald

It would help if you had a name so someone in the Burbank area could look into it for you. Plus any other info on the person. WWW.411.com has been a good source for me finding someone. I found a long lost friend after 25 years by using that on-line system.

Using "411" I got too many "Russo" to choose from. 
but this is, where MY 911 come from:
34°11'59.76"N
118°18'42.57"W
Have a look with google earth...
Modern Times: I can have a look from space at the streets my car had been driven for 20 years.
Does anybody know, where 810 is ?

I have found that, eventually, if you do not give up, you will find that person.

Yes, nice car! Make sure you post it on "white carreras united" (another RennList thread)
