Provenance...

[JoFotoz]

AFAIK...mine is a two owner.

Originally purchased in late 1999 by a start up DOT COM company (..yea...one of those! ) here in So Cal.


DOT COM went the way of many..CAPUT!...bankruptcy eventually.
She was stored away for almost 4 years (lengthy bankruptcy B/S)....BUT..driven every month.
Service records up to date...but minimal due to low mileage.

I purchased her in Dec 2004 with 10200 miles on her.

And the rest is ORW history...

Do you think that still applies in the modern age of CarFax, AutoCheck, and dealership VIN databases that track rare options? No they're not 100%, but neither is some guy's memory and his documents which may or may not be authentic.

Not sure why you feel the need to bust my balls on this subject, really! I was simply curious about our members records, (not memories) regarding thier VXs...really! Having a bad day?

Not bustin' your balls Scott, sorry if it came across that way! I just think it's an interesting question - how will the age of digital records impact the way "modern classics" are valued in the future? Will owners of exotics be able to sue CarFax or Experian (they own AutoCheck) if a false report destroys their performance at auction?

Ownership stories (or the mystery thereof for us used buyers) is an interesting topic. Didn't mean to detract from that, just sharing some curiosities.

[Scott Larson]

Gotcha Mav, no worries. I was simply curious about others here who have far more info and documentation then I, regarding their VXs. I have, and can prove, next to nothing regarding mine! It all checks out A-OK and runs and drives like new but other then that, notta, zip, nothin'. Somehow, I've become comfortable with the mystery...

I got no proven records but what pops up on carfax & autocheck.

According to the dealer where i bought the VX he was placed in a storage facility up in massachussets for 5 years when the original onwer passed away,the son didn't wanna get rid of it although he have his own VX,but after gotten married he had to let it go.

After 11 years of ownership, I have every frikkin receipt for every service and/or repair done. Dont know why, but I do. They take up a whole lot of drawer space!

[Scott Larson]

Hey, if you ever sell, that's the kinda stuff people want to see. That, along with original sales papers, window sticker, you name it...

[vt_maverick]

While we're on the subject of documentation, for those that have all those nifty original items, where/how do you store them? I keep everything in three files in my file cabinet (Maintenance, Ownership Paperwork, Memorabilia) but I really would like to find something to put them in that would be more like a coffee table book or photo album.

Anybody come up with anything?

I've got all of my receipts from my 10 years of ownership also, but it really doesn't amount to much since it hasn't needed much maintenance beyond the regular service intervals. I have all the receipts and original documentation in one file folder. The folders for my '82 Mustang and '70 Torino are huge by comparison.
