1988 Camaro - National Car Search

I am looking for a 1988 Camaro I purchased new but had to sell when my company
transferred me overseas. I would like to locate this car, and if possible, buy it from the current owner. The last record of a title is in Pennsylvania.

I feel it is likely being used as a racecar considering its current age. I will pay $2000 to the first person that locates this car and provides me with a picture of the VIN number, a few pictures of the current condition of the car, and the contact information of the current owner. The VIN number is 1G1FP21F4JL149816.

Regardless of the condition of the car, I will come take a look at it.

The car was delivered with a white exterior and gray interior, though it may have been repainted for racing. It came with a 305 engine with fuel injection, a 5-speed
transmission and disc brakes. The body is a coupe, i.e. no removable roof panels or
sunroof, etc..

I received a tip that my car actually may now be a race car and may have a paint scheme like the one in the below picture. This information may help someone who remembers a car with paint like or similar to the image above.

Please contact me at the cell phone number below.

Reminder: Event Photos Available!

Many of us remember that one run where everything just flowed, or maybe that one cone we just couldn't keep from tagging.

With easy downloads and paper prints right at your fingertips, Ben Burkhart Photography has you covered. Regale your loved ones with the excitement of racing (and maybe convince them to come join the fun) with photos from Autocross, Rallycross, Hill Climb, Car Shows, and sometimes even someone being goofy in paddock.

The Key to Getting to the Front of the Line at a Motorsports Job Interview

NOV 11, 2025 — The SCCA Foundation works to ensure that future generations will have the same opportunity to compete in amateur motorsports as we enjoy today. One way the Foundation has pursued this objective is providing support to Formula SAE. On Oct. 11-12, 2025, Raleigh Boreen (SCCA Foundation Board member) and Andrew Benagh (SCCA Solo program Administrative Manager) attended the Formula SAE Workshop held in Lincoln, NE, sharing their knowledge, insights, and perspective about SCCA and its relevance to the auto engineers of tomorrow.

Raleigh discussed how participating in the FSAE program can profoundly impact students’ future and is complimented by engagement in motorsports through the SCCA. He related how Jim Campbell, Head of GM Motorsports, shared how student involvement in FSAE often signals to major employers a candidate’s readiness for advanced stages in the hiring process.

5 Ways to Remove Cone Marks

OCT 30, 2025 — With the 2025 Tire Rack SCCA® Solo® National Championships in the history books (which, in my humble opinion, was one of the best I’ve attended), all that’s left to do is get those pesky cone marks off of the finish of our cars.

But how?

While I was at the Solo Nats, I tried five different methods for making cars look like their drivers (or co-drivers) didn’t hit any cones at all during that event. Yes, the permanent record we call the “results” will always show quite a few cones took abuse, but that doesn’t mean the cars need to maintain that blemish.
