There is another club, GTOAA (GTO Association of America) that also has a monthly magazine called "The Legend" that you could place an ad in (no lost and found section but there is a "cars wanted" section).

People all over the world belong to these clubs, and many members of local clubs also belong to these clubs. so you should get a fair amount of exposure. Membership doesn't cost much, and the ads might even be free, so it's worth a shot.

Both magazines also have ads for cars for sale, so even if you never find your old car, you might find a similar one you may want to buy.

Thanks. i have now posted what I think is the VIN number off of my Protect-O-Plate.

Although I have not been a member in many years I am aware of POCI and their publication. I come from a family of Pontiac lovers. I still have pics of me with my dad's 1947 Pontiac (purchased new) and others. My dad bought many Pontiacs over his life and I also owned a 1956 Safari with factory air and others in addition to my 1968 GTO convertible.

Thanks for the information.
