Default 1973

I’m trying to locate a ‘73 454 convertible I restored in the mid 90’s then sold unfortunately in 1999 in Syracuse NY
The VIN is 1Z67Z3S432185
Is there a way to find the present owner? The 13 character VIN makes it troublesome
Thx

Your VIN is way off base as it purports to have been the 32185th built. They only built 30464 73 Corvettes.

Maybe this will help you:

“During production of the 1973 model year 4,000 serial numbers were skipped. VIN numbers 24,001 through 28,000 were never manufactured”

Just like the first 9 that were built with chrome front bumpers.
