Default finding 64 corvette

Does anyone know where I could turn to in order to help me find a 1964 corvette I once owned? I bought the car off ebay and had it redone, but the car never ran reliably and I was forced to sell it at auction a couple years ago. If anyone knows of any sites or services, it would be greatly appreciated. It would be great just to find out where the car is and/or get in touch with the current owners. Thanks!

Your request it way too vague. Start by giving us painful details of the car, especially something unique about it that will separate it from the rest. Maybe someone here knows about it etc. Dennis

It was a 64 coupe. Repainted bright red with rechromed bumpers. Had knock-off style hubcaps, and correct looking (for later c2s) side exhaust. Had a gm crate 350 (290hp) 4spd with a hurst shifter and black ball. Car had a polished and black steering wheel, but sold with the original wood style as well. Had a new style radio that fit in place of the original dash opening. The battery had some attachment that allowed you to connect or disconnect the post to hold a charge better, but it always was more trouble than it was worth. New windshield. Brakes, steering, and suspension had all been rebuilt, as well as a new clutch. Had non-radial original style white wall tires. Car sold at auction in nashville if I recall correctly. VIN of 40837S103188. Thanks in advance a ton for any and all help!

Also had a new power antenna that worked only when it wanted to, and mirrors on both sides. Thanks

I initially got excited thinking I found an owner of mine, but the VIN is too early. Good luck with the search.

I'm currently using them to track down a car I used to own. I would recommend them.

Did not find your vin# at the Stingray Registry or the C2 Registry.

Good luck with your search.

Go here...

It will cost you $2.50 and they will show you what state the car is in plus a link to the DMV in that state to file for the current owners address.
