Default wanted 1973 Corvette Coupe

[I][SIZE="3"]I'm looking for my old 73 big block coupe Red/Black Auto. Left the Chicago area about 21 years ago to I believe Indiana. At the time, it was a low mileage loaded coupe. I would sure love a chance to get it back for my wife who still hasn't forgiven me for selling it.
Thanks anyone with a lead.
Ron

Sorry I wish I did. Like I said it was red/black leather/auto pw luggage rack and may still have the 69 oem side exhaust I put on it. Sold it around 2005 to another local couple that had it for year or 2 and then told me they sold it to someone in Indiana , I think. When I sold it it had about 35k miles on it.

Sure makes it easier. Start with a title search with the DMV where you last had the car titled. Due to confidentiality laws, DMVs cannot release owner personal information, but you may be able to determine whether the car is still around.

Good luck.

I may have found the car. I have the vin of the car in question, but not of the one i used to own. I'm hoping that if I reverse engineer this , I could end up with the same results. I've never done a vin search, anybody done one or want to do one ?

I have a silver/red 73 454 auto, ac, ps, pb, shoulder belts, tilt tele, project on ebay. It looks bad all apart with the nose off but has tremendous potential. Check it out
