Default trying to find the rb car

I have begun my search for the original risky business 928 it was a 1981 platinum metallic automatic vin #wp0ja0921bs820312 the vehicle was shipped overseas in 1984 or 1985 any european rennlist members try to search your local used cars for this so i can find it.I need to view the u.s. customs microfilm to see what country it went to,this is the exclusive car used for filming not the one at the volo museum,that one was used in 2 shots that lasted 1 second each.this is the car that was in the whole movie.besideds the dummy dump car.and the manual car that was briefly shot before the dump.

I believe someone beat you to it, bought it, restored it and made a movie about the experience... They post on Rennlist.. Also there were 5 cars total I think. Is the one yuou're looking for a different one from the one RSKY BIZ had?

Search is your friend.

So you're looking for the automatic used in most of the movie?

Have you tried CarFax.eu? Looks like two hits for the vin as an imported US car.

CarfaxEU vill very likely give same info as normal Carfax. There isn't any EU wide database where to search later info. Obviously Carfax tries to expand into Europe but they don't have anything ready yet. Looks like Sweden will be first. There has been swedish search page for years where some info including VIN data has been available for free with licence plate number.

I have it. It's for sale, right now asking $150,000. For you, I'll knock off $1000 for every properly capitalized, and nominally grammatically correct post you make.

Sidehatch, why not do something more exciting, like get Rebecca DeMornay and Tom Cruise to autograph your car. I assume you have vacation time?
