Tried to track down a previous owner and with a single email apparently succeeded. This is my '69 now and what it looked like back in 1977. I know the sidepipes were added - not too worried about that. I have the hardtop in my barn.
I mailed a letter to the the previous owner of my 72 Tuesday of this week....I hope he contacts me. Old pics is one of the things I asked about.....Very cool to have congrats.

I had the title from '78 with the guy's name. Spent a while Googling, even looking in Zillow for the address and then searching through public records, newspaper articles, high school reunions etc.
Eventually I found what I thought was a fair match. I sent a message through a web contact form to a small business. That was a couple of months ago. Turns out it wasn't the right person but they were interested and somehow passed it along to other people with the same name. Imagine that - catching people acting decently!
It went through several hands before winding up at the right person.
This made my month and even made a dent in my natural cynicism.
You should try to sell him the hardtop if you don't need it. Lou.
I believe he owns the car now, the old picture was a previous owner.
I too would like some old pictures, we found a lot of damage when stripping the old paint from my '74. Also, someone swapped in a hot engine, and converted to four speed.
