    Lightbulb I think I may've found who has this car . . .

    If that is the car in the link above, there is a phone number in the ad - not sure how old this is though....hope it helps you

    You have a keen eye and it looks at the very least like the seller is using a photo of that same GT in his ad.

    However - it gets more interesting . . .

    I searched the phone # in the ad you linked to - it comes back to a FourEyedPride member: mikes85gt

    mikes85gt is also in Huntsville AL and has the same exact phone # - it's in his post at this FEP for sale thread:
    http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...original-miles

    FEP member Mike T. might be able to call mikes85gt and see if he still has the car or knows its whereabouts!

    That is funny....I know mikes85gt....I bought an 86 LX coupe from him a while back and just recently communicated with him.
    As far as I know, he does not have that particular car.

    And here I went ahead and tried PMing "Mike T" - hoping that I may've found who has his old car that he's been looking for! Oops

    I guess the ad on carsdot.com is a scam, a clone-ad of an older classified? The name Mike and 256 527 1844 is plainly listed in the ad and it appears the maroon/burgundy GT is shown & described.

    It appears to be the same car, and at the bottom of the ad, the owner is listed as Mike - with the same 256 527 1844 phone # that "mikes85gt" has publicly posted on FEP.

    Oh well I guess I'm done playing detective, maybe someone else can figure it out.

    Turns out Mike (mikes85gt) did indeed own that car (the ad, pics & phone number were correct) in May 2017 but he sold it.
    That may help him (mike T) figure out where its at now

    Hmm well then I do hope this guy Mike T might track down this car afterall. Over the years I've tried to help a few people locate an old car of theirs, mosty locals. I guess I kind of know what it's like though, I'm still haunted by a 1973 Mach 1 Mustang that I lost to storage fees at a towing yard and wish I had it back. Thanks to a destroyed economy and replacement migration and the factory closing - my 'ol Dad had to sell off all of his prized cars & trucks when us kids were growing up. Some of them still really bother him too. I guess I like to see someone reunited with something they once loved/valued/treasured. Ok end of rant . . .

    Lee,

    Thanks.........that ad was legit but like bizjettech says it was from 2017
    mikes85gt was the owner from Alabam and I'm pretty sure he is the guy that had it listed / I think sold it off of E-Bay

    There is a guy here Classic Muscle here on the site that bought the car in June of 2017 and actually contacted me.....wanting info. I replied back to him multiple times and he never responded. He actually had a post - see below

    New Member & Recent Purchaser of 1985 GT
    http://vb.foureyedpride.com/showthre...76#post1849676

    That's the last I've been able to find...........his few posts in June 20017 and then nothing
    He hasn't posted anything since that I can find

    Now I'm going on the hunt for another one of the 85's I had - sold it to twinvipers from the site years back.........it was also a killer 85 GT, probably around 50K now. It's last sold / known area was Raleigh, NC Dealership Fast Cash for Cars / Jeff Keisner Collection

    Maybe I'll have better luck finding that one - who knows, I'll probably find both at once.

    Just an update - the owner of the Canyon Red 85 GT that I'd owned saw my post and sent me a pM

    I replied back - hope he see's that and gave him my e-mail info
    Step 1 down - at least I've made contcat

    Mike - I'm the guy you sold the car to originally 18+ years ago - I've been sending messages back and forth with the new owner who lives in FL - I mentioned you were also on this site and your username.

    Hey Mike,
    So the guy that has it now ( Bob ) lives in Florida..............?
    That's sort of funny - that is where I bought the car from back in the day............and now it's back in FLA
    I replied back to his PM here but haven't heard back from him since the original PM he sent me.
    Tell him to check if you get the chance - so he can have my e-maill address just in case
    C-Yaaaaaaaaa'
    Mike
