One down...

As some of you may remember, I have been searching for a 1972 SS 454 Chevelle that my parents bought brand new. I had also been looking for their 77' Trans Am that my dad purchased new as well. (for roughly 3 years now)

I had the VIN# for the TA, but ad come up empty-handed every time I had searched. Fast forward to a few weeks ago, and I get a PM via a board I am an admin on. In that PM, I had a gentleman claim that he was 99% sure he had the car. I had him tell me a few details and send me a few pictures. I was fairly sure it was one in the same since he searched the VIN and it led him to a thread I had started on that board. He then emailed me some photos of paperwork that he had gotten with the car. That 110% confirmed that he has the car. One of the pieces of paperwork had my father's name, address, and phone number from 1977 when he bought the car new.

I was extremely excited, the car is in amazing shape and still has very low miles. The old man was very happy to see that his old car was in great shape and being lovingly cared for. He sold it with barely 3700 miles on it right before I was born. It currently has about 44K miles on the clock. Here is where it gets interesting... my father still has the original window sticker, gas mileage sticker, and bill of sale. We are going to be mailing the current owner these documents so that the paperwork can be reunited with the car.

Here are a few vintage photos of the car shortly after my dad bought it. Sorry for the poor quality, I had to take pictures of them with my cell phone for now.
