YES, i know this is the "A" Bodies site, but please forgive me for asking this question here on this site, also.
It's important for me to find out.
Thank you.

Would anyone out there in the Mopar world, know where the Purple, 1971 Hemi GTX 4 Speed car, in now located, and possibly who the owner is?
It's had three different owners since i sold it off back in 2010.
I kept it for 33 years before i sold it.
That's another long story, for another time.
I sold it to a big league collector in Southern California, that had it in his collection for ten years or more.
Then he sold it to someone that i think is named Flanagan, or Finnegan, in what i think was Iowa, Indiana, Illinois, one of the (I) states?
I knew it was put up for auction at one of big national auction houses a few years back, that i thought that it didn't sell at the reserve price, of $350,000 thousand dollars.
I just got a phone call from the guy that i purchased the car from, back in 1977, years ago, saying it has sold at $250,000 thousand dollars.
If that's true, someone new to me, is the current owner.
I would like to know more about that car, since i owned it.
Anyone out there know where it's at?
It's like it fell off the face of the Earth.
You can write me a pm if you wish, and not make it public.
Thank's a lot. Appreciate any information.

EDIT:
I found this on the internet, when the car was put up for auction back in 2020.

1971 Plymouth Hemi GTX at Indy 2020 as S160 - Mecum Auctions

I'm getting closer.
Found this video yesterday, on You Tube.

Thank you.
Now at least i can trace it back only a few years time frame to 2020.
Gonna call that dentists office and leave a message with the receptionist and see if he would like to find out more information on that car that he wouldn't even know, and also more for me to know.

Beautiful car Jim! It looked much better with the Rallye wheels. I understand wanting to keep up with it. The guy who bought my Superbird back in 1988 kept it until a few years ago. I have no idea where it is now. I've sent Doug Schellinger, who runs the Daytona-Superbird Auto Club a PM on Moparts to see if he knows, but no reply. That's not like Doug, so I'm a little worried about him! Hope you find the X!

Jim, I'm no help to you, but that is one gorgeous car. You can probably count on it being hard to find, but I'm sure if anyone can, it's you. I wish you all the luck in the world.

I now have it traced down to a dentist doctor, all the way back East in Pennsylvania.
But there are two of them by the same last name.
Must be a father and son.
But calling phone numbers, you don't get a dentist's office, but a large central medical office for practicing dentists, back in that part of PA.
I'll do some more research, or someone might chime in with info that i am looking for.
