I might add that at 19, I was an idiot that could paint. You'll notice in one of the pics of the right side of the car that I later simulated the blackout hood decal with flat black lacquer and added hood pins. If the car were just sitting in someone's collection, it may still have blackout and non-stock hood pins. The car did not come with blackout nor pins.

I'd bet it is not green any more - many cars were changed to red/sublime/purple/black in the '90s +

odds are it is purple/white & HEMI powered   :notsure:   you're going to have to look at any JS23U0B3 to find it

I have 10 JS23U0B VINs between 305000 & 355000 and 2 of them are registered in Sweden - I only have fender tag info on 5 of the 10

@6bblgt can you eliminate mine with the info on those 5 fender tags? I'd love to see anything that might be close.

yes, 2 FC7 and 1 EK2 are 4-speeds & 1 FE5 and 1 EB5 are automatics

I've got a js23uob165330 that is ef8 d21 v1x.  so not yours. 

these U's are difficult to find in general. I have very few u's that I've found in my travels.

I've got a js23uob149392 ef4 v1f d32 but no v5f  does have v9J though.  So, not yours.

@6bblgt thank you for clarifying the 5 that can be eliminated. It keeps me from wondering. I'd like to think the car has survived the crusher. It was incredibly preserved the day this hired seeker contacted me from Vermont. He and his wife (she was a notary and title handler) flew into Peoria Airport and I met them at their hotel. They paid me cash from a briefcase and informed me that they were sent by a buyer. They seemed quite experienced and were well pleased with the car and my description of its condition. Hard to think someone wouldn't have taken care of it all these years. I'll bet we'd all love to meet the people that have these quietly tucked away in spare garage stalls, never in shoes, not on databases and registries. I know they exist because I've found a few by sheer luck.

sure would like to meet some of those folks.  I've been looking for a cuda for my whole adult life. 
One day I'll fall into one.

Good luck withthe search.  Maybe put up a few wanted adds on craigslist in the area you last know of its whereabouts.  Maybe a finders fee if its found.might get people talking

In a way this has already been done. Reward included.

By any chance were you a member of SIAC back in the 80s?
The application form had you fill out info on your e bodies, including the VIN.  Some years back I was mailed back one of my application forms by Barry, who'd received those records, and it had the VIN of "cuda of tears", a 71 cuda 340 I'd bought from the original owner when I was in college with 29,000 miles, and was a showroom demo with almost every option imaginable. Chicago area salt had rotted it badly and I decided it was too far gone.  But it was cool getting that paperwork with the VIN!

7E-Bodies

No, I wasn't. Now the 70 RT I have now was in that club with a previous owner. Barry got me the documents on it, but no such luck with my old one. I've already hit up Barry to see if he has any F4 JS23U0B's in his database. No luck.

Special thanks to @medivac (Ethan) for a helpful call from Alaska referring me to an acquaintance of his that may have the means to help me. Ethan, the email is already sent.
