Looking for my original '73 Mach 1

[No Deal]

Just taking a blind stab here, but I recently found the information of the person who purchased my 1973 Mach 1 back in 1999. I have their full address from when the car was titled, but I am not posting publicly.

Looking for a Sandy Sanders Thomas from the South Bend, IN area who purchased a bright yellow '73 Mach 1, with a damaged front fender in 1999.

Not trying to stalk anyone, more just curious if they still have the car or know where it is, and if they would be interested in selling it back to me.

Thank you for any help any of you can provide.

Maybe try Facebook, there are a few 71-73 Mustang groups on there .

Yea, at least post on VMF and StsngNet.

There's a Lost Muscle Cars group on Facebook that seems to have success reuniting previous owners with current owners.

Have you considered a Google search or using services like PeopleFinders, White Pages, etc?

I just found her obituary! Said she was buried in her favorite car; a bright yellow '73 Mach 1. Just kidding! Good luck in the hunt.

I found this info from an older thread by someone else who was looking for their "lost" car.

I used Wes to locate my old 69 Mach 1 and my first car, a 1973 Mach 1. The guy I sold the 69 to back in 1996 still has it and I made a trip down to see him and the car last year. My 73 got shipped to New Zealand back in 1994 from Southern California where I had sold it 10 years earlier. Wes is a good guy and if you have a VIN he may be able to help.
