Default Need help finding my 69 C3

Had a 69 350/350 w/ac, 4spd, p/w, p/b--car very unusual because it had a 73 frt on it w/original 73 style rear flares and 73 exhaust tips. Last register in NC. Saddle tan interior w/non factory dk brown metalic outside color. Anyone who can put any light on where abouts greatly appreciated. Super nice car when sold. Like to have chance to re-purchase.
Thanks!!

Yeah when I had it I traded it for a 71 model car to a guy in Charlotte NC. I have no idea what he did with it or where it could be now. I had hoped it would be still in NC but who knows??? Could be anywhere???

Start with the NC DMV. They may be limited as to the type of information they can release, but it's worth a shot. They will probably need the VIN.

There was a 69 with a 73 nose on ebay that was listed over and over at no sale. Probably still listing it, not sure if its the car.

Keep looking, it should be easy to spot and you should be able to buy it for almost nothing.
