It was auctioned in North Carolina.

Yes she was sold in NC. Her location after that is Woodbridge, VA. I actually see the car in the "next" owner's driveway with Google Maps!!!! (this Map's picture would be 2 years old or less depending on how often they take the shot) I am still trying to get a valid phone number or email for the owner...I keep hitting brick walls on that front. I sent an actual snail-mail letter to the address hoping I would get a response. The letter should be there today or tomorrow. Fingers crossed !

If you wish, send me a PM with the information you have; I may be able to help.

Contact a private investigator. I recently located my dad's 82 vette that he owned 15 years. Paid a PI $25 and within an hour they emailed me back with the current owners name, address, phone number, email and other info. I called the owner and was able to convince him to sell it back to me.

Great news ! The letter I sent worked. Brought her home May 24th !!!

You are one lucky girl!
Car looks to be in perfect shape, way to go!

MelodyS · 10-20-2016, 12:47 PM

Extremely Lucky. She only acquired a little over 6,000 miles with 2 different owners. I took her to work with me yesterday!

SynergyGreenSS · 10-20-2016, 12:51 PM

That's awesome! I'm glad you were able to find it

Wow! Lucky to get it back in that condition.

Why did you sell it, and what changed to make now the right time, if you don't mind sharing?
