i beileve you can go to the dmv with a vin and they can give you a current address on the car, or at least last reg address. or you could always find and befriend a cop haha.

speak with the insurance company you had, get the vin, and then go to the DMV, or just check on carfax.....im sure your parents have records of the vehicle

How about you tell us what color it was, and any other info you can remember? When did you get rid of it?

If it comes back as being mine, you can't have it for ANY amount!!!

Its an 87 and flame metallic red. it had 350 TPI/700r4. the 305TPI was the original motor but it was blown so the guy before me went back with a 350. I went to TXDOT in arlington and gave em the plate number and got the VIN. Then it gave me the 2 previous owners but i think they are the first 2 owners cuz one is a dealer and the other is a Robert P Hamon that lives in plano on Copper Creek. But the only Robert P Hamon i can find lives in Corpus
