Default Search for former owner!

I have a buddy who recently bought a silver 2001 C5Z. It is cammed with a Victor Jr. intake manifold, long tubes, stock titanium catback, cowl induction carbon fiber hood, red interior, and black with polished lip C5Z repros. He purchased the car from chicago motorcars. Has anyone seen this car before? Also, is the owner on this board. This seems like a pretty rare car and is probably unique to the chicago area. I find it hard to believe that many modded Z's like this have been traded in to a dealership in Chicago. He just wants to find the original owner to find out more info about the mods on the car.

Couldnt he go to Chicago Motorcars and ask them. I would bet they have records for the cars they sell. Some make photocopies of the titles and keep them in a file.....worth a try.

He told me they did not seem to know much about the cars past. Maybe they got it from an auction or something, idk.

Why not try a carfax report and a vin# report the vin # report will tell you the orig owner.

Good luck
