Default Missing my 75 !!

Only Black Corvette I've owned. 75 L 82, 4 speed, tan leather, air, pwindows, f 41. I installed Dick Gulfstrand Spring and Shocks, swaybars. Lowered by removing the stock rubber body mounts and installed 70 mounts. Went around corners like a go cart. Car was Silver had it painted Black Negative camber per GM spec.I used to run a lot of autocross events, Wheels were 10 x 15 on all 4 corners with GR 50 x 15 all around Engine was stock except for Hooker side exhaust.Slow but fun. Miss it, photo from 1977.

Do you have any idea where it might be?
If not, there's thousands of them out there to be had.

The numbskull that bought it came by my home a year after I sold it to him. He said he couldn't figure out why it sat so low and he took it to a random garage they told him the springs were collapsed so they had to order special springs front and rear to get the ride height back up. I kept the 10 x 15 wheels and 255 x 50 tires and put the stock tires and wheels back on prior to selling. He also put Gold pinstripes down the hood and over the fenders, around the rear tail lamps. GROSS He ruined the car. I put the wheels tires on my next Vette an 80 L82 picture below.
