Thread: Does Anyone Have A Chevy 216 V6 Motor That Needs To Be Rebuilt?

Tweet

Here's what I said, "I am inquiring about procedures for obtaining a title to an antique automobile that was abandoned on my relative's property over 30 years ago. I am looking to restore the car. The car is a 1948 Chevrolet Stylemaster. Thank you for your time, Zak". Does this sound good? I hope you don't mind I used what you said. Maybe I'll get a response soon.

Sounds okay to me, Zak, and I'd go ahead and contact them and get things in motion.

Even though it will be an e-mail try to make it look as much like a regular business letter as you can, like using "Dear Sir" or "Gentlemen" for a salutation, and close it with "Sincerely" or just "Thank you". (In any case, don't sign off "Love, Zak"!)

Sorry 'bout that. Sometimes a guy can't help being a wise-ass ......

If you wish, you could add something like "The former owners of the car, a 1948 Chevrolet, are unknown. I would appreciate any information you can give me as to how I should proceed". As I said, I don't think whoever reads your letter will be a bit interested in what kind of a car it is, but adding something like that at least would keep the letter from looking quite as skimpy.

Sign off with your full name. Under that put your regular home address, and under that put your e-mail address even though it should appear on there automatically. You can put your phone number on there too if you just want to, but they won't use it.

Good luck, and let me know what kind of a response you get.
