Okay, so it's been a while since I last posted here, so a little reintroduction. Hi, my name is Tristin. I used to drive a 1993 Miata named Cherry Bomb. I sold Cherry Bomb and bought a 1991 Miata named Persephone. I paid $1100 for Cherry Bomb, sold for $2000, and bought Persephone for $1500. 

So recently, I have come across two interesting little things hiding in the woods. One is a white NA miata with a hardtop that's been sitting in a bush for as long as I have driven by it. I don't see any nearby houses, only a barn nearby. The other is what looks like a studebaker champ, but is slightly lifted and painted a bright blue. It's obviously been sitting a while next to the person's house. 

So, what's the best way to talk to the person about the truck, and the best way to find out more about this little hardtop miata? I'd love to make a build thread on the truck, and claim the hardtop for myself, maybe save the little white roadster.

If there are plates on the one in the woods see if you can find the owner through your DMV then just go to the houses and politely ask about them.

Uhh... where exactly near Jacksonville, NC is the Miata? Asking for a friend. laugh

Look up the landowner on that county's GIS system online. Then contact the landowner about the Miata. I'm in NC as well and most county's have their GIS system online.

If possible get the chassis number from the champ. The Studebaker Drivers Club can supply the original build sheet for that one, which will tell you what weight class it was when new and if it had the very rare 4WD set up. Also which engine and trans, color, and any other options.
