Trying to locate a COPO Chevelle

[scuncio]

Hi all,
I'm new to this board but I've been a regular on Team Chevelle for a couple of years (70L34 over there). Anyway, I'm trying to track down a '69 Scuncio COPO that I lost track of in 1997. I tried calling the previous owner but the number had been disconnected. Is there any way for a non-police officer such as myself to locate someone? I'm interested in buying this car to eventually give it a loving restoration. Any help would be great. Thanks--and it's great to see such knowledgeable people on this forum!
