Now this has me thinking! Wonder if I can track down my ‘67 Vert? I might have pics of it with the plate, never thought about checking with the SoS (sec of state in MI...we don’t call it the DMV here). A new project while the SS is sleeping out of the snow right now, yay!

How about a place you might have work done? Not many small independent repair shops left but the ones that ar, probably have some old records

It might be next to impossible but you never know! I would say be patient and diligent in your search but without a VIN you maybe out of luck. Good luck!

I’d also believe your mom’s soundex number of her license is another suggestion for getting the VIN. Good luck!

It wasn't a Z/28 only motor. Although, the only motor available in a Z/28 was a 350. The 250 straight 6 was standard in all Camaros except the Z/28. 305's and 350's were options. 78 was the first year a 305 and 4 speed (wide ratio) were available (in non CA cars). It's also practically impossible to tell a 305 from a 350 w/o REALLY knowing the motors or having the engine code/vin.

Go back to the selling dealership and see if you can get the VIN. If that doesn't work, try DMV where the car was registered in her name. After that, go back to the company that would have insured it.
Once you have a VIN, CARFAX should show you info on its current whereabouts. |

Without the VIN its going to be extremely difficult, and without someone who can run the vin to find it like a cop its even more difficult

One thought I had was to possibly contact the insurance company. Whoever was her insurance company before she sold it MIGHT have it on record. I don't know how far back insurance companies keep their customer's vehicle history records but it's worth a shot.
