Default Anyone got 79 VIN 28816

My wife sold this 1979 to a guy from New London about 20 years ago? It had an unusual story attached to it.

Doc the cars last registration can be run by V.I.N. either through D.M.V. as title history or a local L.E.O. can run it for you to check current registration. Good luck locating it, it can be done. jim

Hey Doc, Looks familar.Any chance of a side view of that car. I have seen a converted corvette like that in Sommerville, NJ For the last several summers at the local cruise nights there. Its not there at everone, but about twice a season. Its white and ALWAYS draws a huge crowd. Most people dont realize it was at one time a corvette. On this paticular car I remember the exterior door handles were a dead give away. Good luck with your search.
