Default Help find corvette

Help Please. I am trying to locate the 1984 Corvette I purchased new in Denver. I think it might be in Maryland but I am not sure. Can anyone offer advice ? I have the VIN.
Thank you very much.

Run a Carfax report. It won't give you the owner's contact information but it will tell you where it's registered, if it is registered. Then check with the local Corvette clubs, specialty shops, run an ad on Craigslist, etc.

Actually, Carfax will tell you when and where it was last registered, even if it is not currently registered.

Agreed that no DMV will release owner information. Your best bet is to run the vin in carfax and see when and where it was last registered. This will give you a starting point for your search.

So what did carfax reveal? I have two 84s one was two tone bronze and one was silver both have been in Australia since the early 90s I don’t think carfax will be much use if it’s one of them.
