How might I go about finding my old Cobra? Anywhere to do a VIN search?
This is my old car... I sold it in 2003. I still have the VIN on it, but don't have the buyer's info anymore. Is there any way to search for the car and see where it's located/registered?
These things are getting crazy cheap... I'd like to have it back... If I find it and get it I promise to send it to PAS and lower it

I think carfax only tells you how many owners it's had... not who has it and where it is.

i know it wont tell you WHO has it but i believe a carfax mentions any checkups it has(and the location) or the last dealer that had it. That would give you a starting point to finding it. Worst case if you can find the last dealer that inspected or sold it have them contact the buyer privately to say you want to buy it.

does it have to be your old car or are you looking for any Cobra vert for a decent price?

I agree on how cheap they are getting. I've been half tempted to make the switch although not to a vert.
