    It might help to add info like when they were sold and the area of the country. Pics are also a big help with a longshot search like this.

    Sometimes the memories of your old cars are a lot better than when you find the car and see that it has changed drastically from when you had it. you might actually see that pickup or coupe at area rod trots on occasion but not recognize it simply because everything you remember is is gone and someone has since redone it and put their spin on it.

    You don’t remember the time you owned either? You must have been stoned then and for sure stoned now.

    As the old saying goes, "without pictures, it didn't happen" (3 window Larry).

    Nothing?
    1-3 years ago?
    5-10 years ago?
    10-25 years ago?
    longer?

    Who were you dating or married to when you sold them? Were your kids born yet? Who did you work for when sold? Maybe you remember where you last lived where you parked them? Who were your pals at the last time you remember? Something or someone might jog your memory to narrow it down.

    Still nothing?

    Everyone giving you a hard time, we all want to see a success story you finding them. Searches like this are all about more info the better, every little thing you can remember about the cars and who you sold them to and when. Your not giving us much to go on, not even a color.

    I buy a hot rod, first thing that goes is any names/branding/artwork I don't 100% jive with. I think most guys are the same. Can't you recall anything else about them? Paint color, power plants, any specific custom touches that a guy might be inclined to leave alone?

    I learnt this really good "memory trick" that guarantees you always remember your wife’s birthday and wedding anniversary.

    All you do is "Forget It Once" :p

    Good thoughts here.
    Just think back and reflect on when you had them, some of the things you did in them, etc. something will jog your memory, was it when Bill and Monica didn’t do the dirty (according to Bill) , etc.
