Original owner
I am trying to find the 72 coupe I bought new. Is there a good place to find a VIN owner? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
1Z37K2S517241 Targa Blue. Black interior. 350 w/ 200hp Just a good basic car. I was only 20 when I got it. Lots of fun driving all over US for the USAF.
Last known in Wisconsin near Milwaukee1979

Wow...I sold the car in 79 after getting a Silver Anniversary model. It had 50k miles then. Hard to believe that in 2016 they only had 73k.
Thanks alot guys. We can keep looking. I had a State Trooper friend look in about 2009 and he couldn't find it. So I'm surprised that it was registered as late as 95.

Try submitting a post with a pic of the car on "Lost Muscle Cars" on Facebook. Pretty decent success rate of finding vehicles - some found within a few days. Good luck with your search. Cheers. BK3
