Looking to buy my old 1989 firebird formula-anyone seen it?

I am looking for my old 1989 firebird formula that I sold in 1992-1995 time frame. Sold to a couple from Joliet I think.

Last seen in Schaumburg some young kid was selling it - was advertised in tradin times.

Black 5 speed, custom guages inside hood, 305 engine,lowered with chrome 5 stars,custom y-pipe with cutout.

Anyone seen it or knows the owner, Please PM

Run a carfax on it to find out where it has shown up last, once you've done that come back and we'll get you rolling.

I assumed that too when I first ran my Autocheck report - figured it would've been gone in the early 90's. They're still out there!

VIN would sure help. Had the same insurance agent since then? Same bank? Maybe they could check their records?
