An Orphan Document
In late November 1964 I took delivery of my factory-ordered '65 C2 convertible. 2 or 3 years later, in a fit of madness I sold her thinking tuition money was more important.
Last week, I found the original sales form listing options and prices. Assuming my beauty has survived so far, I'm thinking the current owner, would like to have this paper.
The VIN is listed as: 194675S102185.
She is Glen green with matching interior, both tops, 4-speed, and has a 365-HP engine. I paid $4,175 by the way, and that included a nice discount off the MSRP of $4,867.50.
She was bought in downtown Fort Worth, and sold to a fellow worker at the Bell Helicopter factory in the same Texas county, Tarrant.
I tried some VIN trace websites without success. I don't think they will give me the current owner's address anyway.
I just joined this website a few days ago and am pleased to see I can communicate here for free. Can anybody help me trace this car?
For instance, is there a nation-wide registry of Corvettes and current owners?

There's no actual car, but somehow the numbers.... are "matching"... something?

Motor, 66 427 390 HP VIN 194376S108174
Hello Guys,
Came across a '66 427 motor today. It looks to be a 390 HP.
Engine pad reads: TII24IM 6108174
I think that should belong to 194376S108174.
I already checked the C2 registry.
