Default Long Lost '80

Hello C3'ers. I usually hang out over in C5 or Lord help me OT, but today I'm dropping by with a question. About 23 years ago, I sold this car in Midland TX and I've heard it was in Brownwood TX for a while. Just wondering if anyone had ever seen it or perhaps knows where it might be today. You can't tell by the scan, but there's a gold strip above the maroon one. I know it's a long shot, but I really loved that car and I'm just curious where it ended up. Thanks!

Don't know anything about where your car is at, but man, I just love pictures like yours: Guy in his youth with his pride and joy car, trucks and tractors and fields in the background, custom period paint job ...that's how it was back in 'the day'. Ya just hardly ever see any pictures these days of C6's like that, at least I don't. I'd love to see more pictures like that. Thanks for sharing. Hope you get a lead on your car.
