I tracked down my old '70 GTX through the VIN with help from a buddy of mine who's in law enforcement. He did it from his squad car. I think it was easier since it was still registered in our state after having left the state and returning. It was a good 20 years after I had sold it (and the car was about 35 years old at that point).
