Trying to find my old C3 '68 vette
Good evening...can someone please point me in the right direction? I am trying to locate my old C3 '68 Vette that I had as a high school student. I was forced to sell the car when the frame broke while going over some rough train tracks. I sold it to a buyer who said he was planning on restoring it. I am interested in seeing what it looks like today or perhaps find out where it is. I would also be interested if someone knows how to decipher the VIN since many sites I enter it on says it is invalid. I have a copy of the original licence registration and the VIN looks to be correct. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
VIN: 1943785412786
Thanks in advance,
Fred

You might try posting this in the C3 section. Some people have been successful in finding their cars with advice over there. Everyone there would like to help you.
Here's a link to the C3 general discussion section:

I think the "5" in your VIN is actually an "S", for St. Louis assembly.

Thanks Rick...I agree. The IL License registration that I have shows a 5, but it could have been easily misread.
