Default Looking for my old 71, anyone seen it around?

Taking a shot in the dark here. The locals I sold it too back in 2006 say they sold it to someone in Texas around 2010. Pretty unique, hi rise hood, "Corvette" decal on back instead of Chrome letters, 454 engine with a lopey cam....... Light pewter metallic

Anyone?

I can see why you want to buy it back. Stunning car. Good luck locating it.

Default Hi Joey!

Hi Joey and hope all is well!

I remember that you had a gray C3, no wonder you are looking for it, nice Corvette, for sure!!!

Thought for you, maybe you send an inquiry to the Dallas and Houston Corvette Clubs? likely find their email address on internet.

I am betting a number of people have noticed this memorable Corvette and might could provide some leads?

Also, might check the C3 registry on the internet. Never know, somebody might have posted the vin.

Best of luck looking and hope this might help!

Hey Pat, good to hear from You! Doing well here, hope all is well on your end! Thanks for the advice, not really per say wanting her back, just kinda curious on how she is doing...lol Actually, I had registered her and quite a few others I saw at shows over the years on the 71 registry, and oddly enough, my old car is no longer on the registry.

Take care, and thanks again!
