have VIN, need help finding the car

[notstock71]

I have been searching for a specific 69 Nova street machine (straight axle and all) that used to run around here in Nebraska in the 70s and 80s. I have had multiple conversations with the original builder and he found the VIN for the car. He gave me the VIN to try and help find it. The VIN was supposed to be run through Nebraska DMV but there were no results. The car possibly left the state in the 80s. Does anyone have the ability to find the last registered owner even if in another state? We do not know where it went from here. I was lucky enough to receive help with this once when I found dads old Z.

Thanks in advance ofr any help.

I only have 1 picture I have had saved forever. I did a post titled long shot, info wanted, 69 Nova street machine back in November. I am doing this off my phone right now so I can't copy the link to that post or the picture in it. All leads from that posting have failed but since Larry found the VIN hopefully we can get some new leads. It was a magazine feature car, pearl white with white vinyl top, tunnel ram on a 427. If I ever get time I am going to get together with him and go through all his photo albums from building the car.

Here is what I have for pictures until I can get together with Larry.

Apparently this car came up some time ago on Steves Nova Site. Anyone have any leads for us? I see the pictures are from one of the features it was in.

I called Nebraska, South Dakota and Colorado DMVs today hoping I could request title information but since I do not own it I am out of luck. I haven't had any luck in finding someone who can run the VIN so in desperation I called a private investigator. He said he can run it so I'm keeping my fingers crossed he can find something, anything.

I can run the VIN too,on Google.

I hope you didn't pay that guy.

if he can't come up with anything its no charge so I didn't think I had anything to lose?

Other than typing the VIN in Google (which I tried [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/smile.gif[/img] ) is there something else on there I can try?

I found it. When I called a number I found for the last registered owner his dad answered. I explained the car I was searching for, specifically the pearl white &amp; straight axle, he confirmed yes they have it and to call his son tonight. Last registered in 2002. I have no other details on the current condition so the suspense is killing me.

That's great you found car.. Did you find it through the private investigator or your own detective work?
