    Thanks to Ed for allowing me to tell this story on VIN Wiki. After his invitation, we flew DIRECTLY to Atlanta for the filming 😉
    I'm happy for anyone who enjoys the story.

      For sure! My father sold a car back in the ‘80s and started searching for it a few years later. He could never find it, so in 2016 he bought another car similar to it. One day while driving his new old car, a stranger approached him and mentioned that he knew of a similar car that was sitting in a garage that was similar to my dads long lost car. Long story short, I traced the lead through numerous people and ended up finding it and confirming it was my dads old car! It’s in many pieces now, but still exists. Would love to buy it someday! Finding a previously owned car can require persistence and dedication, but more importantly it requires a lot of luck!!

      I'm a simple man, when I seen my El Cameo 18 years after selling.. i was so happy (not looking to get my hands on her again) just to see she didn't die and get crushed.. (bumper sticker was give away) every thing looked good..except Trans AM looking wheels.. I prefer my mis matched hub caps.. I reiterate.. Netflix series with re-enactment filmed.. if you think of doing it.. please invite me and my Chopper to episode w/Fantasy..i appreciate women in Bikinis

    Hearing this type of story warms my heart as I'm lucky enough to have my own. I'll try to keep it short. My mom's father was the owner of a Chevy dealership in the midwest. When she was 12 or 13 years old he got her a hugger orange 1969 Camaro convertible, a RS/SS 396 big block car. She would wash it regularly and drive it in parades until she got her license. She demoed multiple dealer cars throughout high school and the years after but always kept the 69 as the parade/nice day/weekend car. In 1990 it was sold to a guy from town who ended up moving it across the country. I was born in 1992. He was sort of a family friend so we would see him every few years at nascar races and other events. At those events my dad would always ask if the car was for sale, it never was. He owned multiple cars over the years but always kept my mom's 69. As he got older he started selling his cars off and in 2021 he called my dad to tell him he was selling the last one, my mom's. So my dad and I flew down to where the car lived, looked at it, agreed to buy it, and took it for a drive. I got to be the first one to drive it in our family since my mom had sold it 31 years prior. We then had it shipped back to the Midwest and have been enjoying it ever since. Honestly I think I drive it more than she does! We didn't have to hunt quite as hard as this guy, but the love and passion is the same.

    Last month, I tracked down the son of the original owner of my 370z Nismo, who passed just a month after purchasing the car in 2012. I regret not recording the call, but he was very apprehensive towards me calling until I reminded him of the car, and then the tears started flowing. I plan to bring the car to him at some point to let him get some pictures in it with his newborn.
