Really need to talk to someone knowledgeable about the car. My best friend bought the car 4/2/2001. He bought the car to race I bought the sea ray 30. foot Boat to chace we put a lot of mods on the car he past away about a year ago and his family wanted me to have the car i brought it home the car was perfect 18.900 original miles I drive a truck for a living i went on the road for about 3 months came home to a nightmare that car I have been apart of since the day it was new was 3 different colors leaking oil fuel pump making noise Windows very slow to. Roll up and down. All kind of electrical problems. This car has never been on a wet road drove in the rain asphalt onley the under side of the car looks like you pulled the wheels off it and drug it down a gravel road i need to know how to identify a certain year model vett and what to look for if someone converted a 97 coup to a convertable it would explain what happen to my car and help me to get it back

The bottom line is the VIN number! You should have gotten the title for the car when you got it or the registration will have the VIN number. Check that the VIN you have on the paperwork matches the VIN on the car. If it does, IT IS THE SAME CAR! If it doesn't, call the police!
