Default Any one know this car or its whereabouts?

Just curious if anyone on here knows where this car is or if anyone on here owns it? Its a 1998 Z28 A4 car, last I saw it was on craigslist about 5-6 years ago. Has a pin on ultra z hood and i believe an slp sticker on the berger pannel. Built transmission and im sure it has over 150,000 miles on it now. Any help is appreciated. Pictures are old but its a shot

I used to own it years ago. From I would say 2007-2009/10 and I had traded it to a guy I worked with and at the time I had a very young daughter and I was the only income and never got to do much with the car. As you can tell the choice of wheels was poor but it was what I could afford with tires at the time. The hood was a quick grab from a guy locally and didnt cost much. Long story short I am at a better time in my life and I could not stand the white when I had it then but years later I love them in white. I just enjoyed it when I had it and really couldnt keep up with it and do the things I wanted so now I would like to get it back if I could. I spoke to the 2nd owner after me and he had sold years ago and I am at a dead end road now so just looking to see if I could track it down here.

you can hire a PI and as long as you have then Vin they can usually locate it. Contacting the owner though is not sure..

Thanks Trevor.j the thought has crossed my mind and worst case scenario I will give that a try. I have a friend that works at the dmv but I think that information in Florida isn't something I could just buy from them. I have heard in the past it is illegal to just give that info out but I could always ask her and see what she says.

I have it posed on craigslist with a title that says looking for my old Z28 so that may have been it or did you see it for sale? Thank you for your help

I agree completely but I picked them up for $200 with brand new tires to get me by for a little bit. Plus the factory 5 spoke wheels were pretty rough as well.

I've been there before, and then afterwards decided I liked the wheels I got. I had found OEM 16" ZR1s with new tires for $300. Here I am 6 years later and the wheels are still on my car.

I had sold off some OEWheels C5 Z06's with completely shot tires for enough to pay the rent that month and pick up those ZR1s. Man things were rough back then.

Hell I think I'll strip them down again, maybe paint them gold this time. I don't know. Sorry for the hijack but sometimes people look at my wheels and are like, WHY? I definitely understand.

I'm guessing no forward progress in locating the car? Did you also post this on FLCFA?
