Intetesting stuff. Looks like this guy is a dedicated researcher. I hope it pans out for him one day. That would be a pretty iconic Vette to locate.
Reminds me of the ongoing search for Jim Morrison's Shelby. After a million possibilities, most credible story is that he bashed it into a lamp post one night in LA and just walked away, leaving it there to be recovered by a tow yard and scrapped. Ugh!

I would wonder if you could contact the DMV's of the various likely states and find out the likely people or entities the Corvette would have been titled to? The right contact could likely find out this info I think. Once you have a vin number that is a big step forward.
