I'll double it if you don't open "the package" and bring it to me. You can keep the car.

If you ever go to list a car for sale and have second thoughts.. Chances are you'll regret it. I made so many listings for my Camaro that I actually deleted before I got any responses.. it took me forever to actually let it go.

I don't know why the dealer wouldn't know where the car went. Maybe swapped with another dealer. I can understand them not being able to tell you, but they could find the current owner, whether private or dealer, and let them know what you want and what you are willing to offer.

I don't see anything weird about this, just persistance. Maybe more than most people, nothing wrong with that.

I had a one-owner '64 Impala convt. Sold it in '85. Found it again in '91 and bought it back. Saw it at a top replacement shop. Try stopping at gas stations in that town. Most peoplwe get gas at their hometown stations. I was very lucky to get that '64 back!

Do what I did. Bookmark every major dealer in the area around the new owner's location as well as CarMax and Autotrader and conduct a weekly search. That's how I found my old car. The dealer initially had it listed with the incorrect interior and exterior colors but the mileage was low and it piqued my interest. Looking at the VIN and checking the CarFax report put all the pieces into place for me. Have your VIN handy and do a weekly search. Patience can and does pay off, if one is lucky enough.

Well I planned to call all the dealers/gas stations/businesses around the new owners location, but now I'm not sure where that even is

Moose,

I would love to find certain cars I have owned and have them again, especially those that were from special times in my life or that I put my own mods to. Ignore those who just don't get it, probably young kids who don't have the experience to know what is to miss an old ride.

Good luck. You have a lot of C5 members pulling for you.
