Default Looking for childhood '66 black 327 coupe

Hello all. New to the site and know these forums are a wealth of information. As the title suggests, I was just a kid at 17 years old when my parents sold their 1966 black coupe 194376S101974. I have many great memories of this car while growing up and had dreams of one day owning it when circumstances beyond my control changed this forever. So, I am reaching out to this crowd to see if anyone knows of a black 327 coupe that would have left Minnesota for Texas around the early to mid 1980s. At that time it would have had about 15,000 miles as I recall. Any help to locate and possibly facilitate a sale would greatly be appreciated.

Welcome to the forum. It's not listed in the C2 registry. Bill Gould with auto ancestry might be able to find it since you know the vin. Good luck. Hope you find it.

Thank you for the speedy reply! I will connect with Bill Gould and see what he can find. This may be a needle in a haystack search but stranger things have happened. I read an article on the Team Shelby site where a guy was looking for his original 289 hi po engine from his '65 GT350.... and he found it! Just need to find that "one person who knows"😉

I'll bump this occasionally as no luck was found with Bill Gould (though he gave it his best effort).

Reach out to the NCRS and see if the car has ever been judged. This may give you some historical insight into the whereabouts of the car at a given point in time. ARA
