Does anyone know who purchased this LT-1 or who currently owns the car? I gave Donny Boy his name, regrettably sold, and would like to attempt to get him back.
Pretty interesting story...You sold the car at auction, and now you want to buy it back? Hmm....Seems like you did in fact get a good price for it, than again,70 is the best year for the LT-1.....
Wish you the best of luck in acquiring the car back, if in fact you can make that transaction happen...
Keep us posted on your progress ...I will keep my eye out for it and an ear open.....Slim chance, but will do.....
Midyrman - Not sure if that is your auction since I thought you said Sotheby! I hope this might help you. Maybe they will have some other owner info. Not too much info on Donny Boy when I do a Google search.
I hope some rich third world country person didn't buy it and doesn't appreciate what he has!

Guys, I removed a slew of posts from several members that included personal conflict and other posts unrelated to the OP finding the specific car he regrettably sold and wants back. These posts derailed the focus of this thread.
Lots of people are trying to be helpful which is great, but let’s focus on helping Midyrman find Donny Boy.
I appreciate everyone’s help. We all share the same passion. Unfortunately I let one go a few years ago that I shouldn’t have. Of all the C2s and C3s I’ve owned and ultimately sold, this one is most regrettable. So, I am or was looking only for this car.
Apparently the current owner is not interested in selling since he has not responded to Sotheby’s letter expressing my interest in the car.
Sorry for your loss. It would be nice if the buyer at least responded and gave you a chance to buy it back. I will be watching the auctions and if it resurfaces, I will let you know. Best of luck.
I hope it works out for you someday. A long time previous owner of a 69 I owned for 10 years tracked me down and wanted to buy the car back. I wasn’t looking to sell it but he wanted it back so badly I couldn’t refuse. There are a few cars I would buy back if I ever found them so I understood how he felt.

Good luck in your search. I sold my '70 LS5 five years ago to Mitch who luckily also lives in Boca Raton. I regretted it after selling it, and then he contacted me this January, and I was able to buy it back. There's nothing like a DonnyBrook Green convertible.

Yes, Donnybrook Green is a terrific color, particularly on a convertible. Your LS5 looks great
