Looking for some help locating a Camaro....

Hello and good day to all,
I hope it's ok to post this here, if not, just let me know where you want me to post it. We (my husband and I) are looking for some help, and checking anywhere we can think of for folks who might be able to help us. My husband is retired on a medical disability and his dream is to find his Camaro that we had to sell years back. My dream is to help him find it so he can possibly enjoy it for a time before he is no longer able to. I found your site doing an internet search and though I'd see if anyone here might be able to help us.

We are looking to buy back our old Camaro. But we can not find the information we had saved with the buyers contact information, we cleaned out the file cabinets at home several years back and I think we probably shredded it thinking we would never need the information. So we are asking for some help wherever we can think to find it. We are hoping that some club, racer or spectator may remember seeing the car or have some information that could help us locate this specific 69 Camaro.

We are only looking for help locating a specific car we sold several years back, my husband was the original owner of the car and to the best of our recollection it was sold in the late 1990's. At the time it was sold, it was a 69 Camaro SS Pro Street!

We are looking for a specific 69 Camaro SS Pro Street!! In the late 1990's we sold a 69 Camaro on Ebay to a buyer who to the best of our memory was in New Jersey. He bought the car for his 16 year old son to race because he wanted the boy in an all metal car. The car is an original 69 Camaro SS and a back-half car, tubbed and blueprinted by Charlie Gilbert and Sid Vance back in the early 70’s. At the time we sold it, it had a 468 BB motor with a Turbo 400 transmission, a Dana 60 rear end and wheelie bars. The car was blue with blue/purple stripes along the side and on the hood. It had Convo Pros front and back with Mickey Thompson tires. The car had approximately 8,000 original miles when sold. It had stock front seats, most of the original gauges and dash and a blue cage. We are looking for this specific car, ANY information would be appreciated. If we get a chance to purchase the car back, we will pay a moderate finders fee to the person who can put us in contact with the person owning the car right now. We know what we are looking for, there is a special code that my husband put in the car and only he knows where it is at and we were able to find the VIN # for the car as well. PLEASE NOTE..... The color may have been changed and same said for the interior color. Any help that any of you may be able to give would truly be appreciated.

did you post on http://Yenko.net ? Also try camaro research group,they have a database on some cars. The yenko site has lots of members that might remember the car in a specific area.

I'm assuming since this is a back/half race car it was never titled when you got rid of it? Searching dmv database could bring up results if its registered today...you have a vin#?

carfaxing the vin would get you to the place it was registered which will give give you direction of where the car was last registered.
and from there you can locate locals on other forums (or this one of its in nj)
and ask them if they are familiar with the car.
ive searched for a specific car and it can either be really easy or really hard.

While it's worth a phone call, I'm quite sure that talking to the DMV will get you no where. There are so many privacy laws these days that they can't give you much (if any) info about the current records on your old car.

I'm pretty sure that Carfax will only run checks to cars from the early 80s and up. I don't think any of the Carfax type services have records on cars this old.

17 digit VIN became mandatory in 1981.
