[SS427]

I have a local car enthusiast and friend who used to own the above car and would like to know if the car still exists. I have had no luck finding the VIN on any registry so I thought I would ask here if anyone knows of the car. Any help is greatly appreciated and any information will be kept private if needed.

He sold the car to Sheppards Auto in New Berlin, IL in 1975 who in turn sold it to a worker at Ace Radiator in Springfield, IL shortly afterwards but that is where the trail ends. When the car was sold it was Gold (original color) black stripes and had a bench seat. Any help is appreciated. TIA
