Bassman,
I just looked at the green one auction you talked about. Not in bad shape, and also not too far away from you. Having the VIN # of your original car is like getting DNA or fingerprints. If you can find that you may not have to pay someone to do a search. Just go down to your local police station when it's quiet and explain what you are up to. Bring your records. Anyone sympathetic or nostalgic will say sure - and look it up. Even if they can't disclose details about the owner's name or address they can at least say if it's an active VIN# within their database, and then go from there. That would be cool if you find the VIN, but that one on flea-bay ain't too shabby either! I bookmarked it for my own curiosity, and will make a wild guess that it could sell for around 8 grand or less?
