I want this car back.

Anyone in Texas seen this blue charcoal 66 LeMans driving around? Has Pontiac 350 motor. Paint is beautiful. Black interior. Too many memories associated with it.

It was (still is, I'm sure....) a beautiful car.

I sold it four years ago. I dont have remorse but I just miss it. The trade off was my GTO vert which was a no brainer.

I don't know. I do know there are a lot of TX members here and maybe someone has seen it. I've posted all over Facebook for 6 months with no help. If the current owner didnt want to sell, I have the frame off pics that Id really like to hand down.

I sold the car through a consignment house. It sold quick. They wouldn't tell me where other than they were shipping to TX. As mush as Id love to have the car back, It would be nice to know where it is. I really loved that car.

This is what it looked like when I first got it.

I know just picking on you, I sold my Tempest about the same time for a GTO and wished I would have kept it. It was more unique

In Texas for $1 I think it is you can go to the License office and run a VIN and find out if its still titled and to who. When I go get tags for my truck I will run it.
Never checked if Texas will let you do that on line

Would a CarFax VIN search tell you where it is?
