Default Looking for old car
What’s up fellas. Going for a long shot here, but I’m trying to find my old 02 Z. Sold it to a local car lot friend who sold it to someone out of state. I can’t get the info any longer from the car lot. Hoping maybe someone here has it or might know.

I’m exploring other options to track it down, but figured I’d start here first.

Have you tried having a dealer running the VIN? It might pop up. Just a chance but better than not.

I'd run a carfax at least. You could find out what city/state it's in. Then hit up corvette groups and clubs in that area.

Good luck with your search, run a CarFax that will tell you the general location of the current owner and maybe where they get the car serviced.
