Your luck it could be one that was auctioned off for some REALLY HIGH price at Barrett-Jackson this weekend. Then you could forget about ever getting THAT ONE back............. unless you hit the lottery
A 69 Camaro went on Sat. night for $500K
It was an RC Camaro and someone got ahold of the motor from Dale Earnhardts car and put it in it... so someone w/ more money than brains bought it. Leno was there tonight up on the block and even claimed to be, "President of those w/ more money than...."
As others said, there are ways you can look up a vehicle using the VIN. People do this ALL THE TIME when they are looking to buy these cars to make sure the title is not a salvage. I don't know the sites but they should be pretty easy to find. I wish I could just find the VIN to my 81 Camaro...... my luck it is in some junk yard all parted out
Good luck finding it and let us know what you turn up. I'd LOVE to know.
