Default Re: have VIN, need help finding the car

PI never got back to me. A friend got the info for me. I did some net searching for the last owner and a lucky phone call to a number I found was all. Finally, after all these years, my wondering and searching is done. I'm praying it still has the straight axle under it or if he swapped frames he kept the one Larry built.

Just got off the phone with the current owner. Not only did the car survive but it is "as built" from Larry in the 70s. The vinyl top was coming loose so it was removed and the roof was polished. He still has the bias ply tires he took off the back 20 something years ago. I don't know if I can ever add this to my garage but I'm thrilled it survived basically untouched. He is going to send me some pictures, Ill post them when I get them

That is really cool. I have never found one of my old cars that I lost track of so I can imagine the feeling it pretty cool when you do.
