Someone on Facebook is looking for their dad's old 1973.

He sold it in 2016 from Stickney, South Dakota.

A little more info about the car would certainly help. 2016 wasn't that long ago, this one might be an easy find.

There was a little crack in the front end. All black interior. T-Tops

That’s about all they’ve got. The dad passed away a couple years ago.

Would be a great help if you could find out body color, 4 speed or automatic. It's good they have the VIN, that shows it was a coupe with the L-48 small block, built in December '72. Do they have any pics of the car?
It is not listed in the Corvette registry.

I’ll ask if they have more pictures of it. This is the one from her post. I thought I had added it earlier, but it must not have gone through.

Hmm, if that's a real black car it is really rare.

For sure. Ask them for a pic of the trim tag, if it designates special paint there a few threads here about those 73 cars and owners.
