Where today is the car I loved - but sold?
 

So there's this other thread running right now - with a guy trying to track down his new, used car's prior owner - & it got me thinking.
Wouldn't it be nice to know where some of my earlier Vettes were today - & how well they've fared over the years...
If only my past cars had an owner plaque - where I could have written in contact info - & in today's high tech cars - enter into the computer.
Something more permanent than just leaving a letter in the glovebox - that some car jockey cleanup kid will toss the minute you've driven off the lot with your new ride.
Keep in mind I'm only talking about your current baby - not your beater.
The new owner would be enticed to contact you to not only learn about repair & maintenance - but to hear tales of the car's early history - epic road trips - places visited - photos to share - etc.
Just think - the car you own today will most likey still be on the road long after you are dead & forgotten - & this might prove to give you a bit of immortality...?
So am I crazy - drunk - or maybe really onto something?

Maybe we should all put laminated 'tank stickers' on them with our info when sold. They would be found sooner or later.

Where are they now?
 

Agreed! I would like to know where my '72 Bryar Blue, Base T-Top w/TH400 and black leather Custom Interior is! Midwest somewhere, me thinks.That was my first car, in '77!
C-3's Forever!

And sometimes you are better off not knowing.

A few years ago, I tracked down my '97 Camaro Z28 Convertible to see if I can buy it back.

Bought new in '97 for my 30th birthday. I took care of the car. It was never abused or crashed. This was taken about a month before I traded it in for my '03 C5 in '07.

To what I found. This was less than a year after that owner bought it. It was a write off and subsequently scrapped. :( To this day, one of my biggest regrets was letting it go. But finding it is a close second.

Ouch! Sorry, dude! It could be brought back though. But, it would definitely be a keeper after that expense!

Believe me, if given the opportunity, I would have done just that. But I found it too late.

Time for a tribute build/replacement?

I have been looking at AutoTrader and Kijiji for another 3rd gen Camaro so you never know. :thumbs:

Wife know? LOL!
