Where's Waldo... Find my Vette!!!

Hello all...  I purchased a new 1979 Brown L82 with T-tops in Kansas City, Mo.  In 1980 I moved to Texas and with the crash of the stock market and intrest rates around 18% I sold my Vette to a Chevy Dealer in N. Houston.

You might check with the DMV in TX to see if you can do a title search - some states allow it and some don't. If you could find the person who bought it after you you might be able to pick up the trail...

Well, it's not registered here...I just checked...
You might try an ad in Hemmings Motor News, or the NCRS Driveline...

Thanks...  Seems like it dropped off the face of the earth... but what the heck... it's been 27 years...  I'll try the DMV check next... 

Do ya really want to find it? Who knows what's been done to it in 27 years!

I sold my first 78SA back in 91, regretted it for years and decided to find another one. I like the one I have now a lot better. L82 and loaded compared to the old one with L48 with few options. I DO check VIN numbers whenever I see one for sale on ebay, not that I'd ever try to get it back. Just out of curiosity.  Good luck with your search, tho. 

There is a 1979 registry, but not that many cars listed over there. Try googling 1979 Corvette Registry.

If you want a 79 I suggest you look at this one, I stumbled across it yesterday, I was half tempted to go take a look. It's only about 5 miles from me. But I don't think the wife would like me bringing home another one, no more room at the inn.

Here you go, good luck with your search '79 Vette Registry

Good idea Mark!!!

Don, at the tops of the forum pages, you will see a bar. Click on it(or click on this one), and click on the C3 Registry Data.(or click on this link)
You can do a search of all of the Sharks registered here, by several different methods. Color, engine size, etc.
Check it out! It's fun!


I did not see a '79 this morn. that was close to your old car's VIN, tho...Adams' Apple2007-04-25 21:23:06

Is there anyway to contact GM with the production sequence number to see where it was shipped to the orginal dealer?
