Found another piece of the cars history behind the glove box.
It was an old insurance card from April '98 to Nov. '98. It stated Diamond Bar CA as the city. I am thinking that the CHP held onto it or it got transfered to another state entity. Then in 98 it was sold, then sold again(when it came to OR), then sat for a few years, then sold again (my dad thinks the kid said he got it from a family member), then it dropped off the radar in 07 when my dad got it.
Here is the note I found under the shifter console. Guy was a sailor?? Dated a year before first smog record on the autocheck.
