Looking for my old FC

I was thinking about my last FC and I figured I would ask here. I traded it in on a GMC Sonoma about 4 years ago in San Jose, CA. You can beat me later for trading it in on a wanna-be truck, but bad decisions and accomodations were at play. I needed something to work in. Anyway, it is a 1991 Black GXL. It had American Eagle 077 style wheels, all power, sunroof, no rear wiper, no stereo, and the engine bay was detailed. The motor was a rebuild that was detailed yellow and black w/ a RB header, Carsound cat, and HKS cat back. It was traded in at Capitol GMC on the Capitol Expressway auto row in San Jose. Does anybody know who has my baby? I would love to know what happened to her after I let her go. She had so much potential. I have many stories to tell about her. She has many kills. I am cheesing ear-to-ear just reminiscing about them.
Let the search begin. Who now is the proud owner of my FC?

good luck the odds are better in the lottery but your way better off with a PI. But worth a shot I guess. Good luck again

true..they did get an awesome FC. Like I said, bad decisions let to me letting her go.

oh, by-the-by, she had a dented passenger side door. it did not effect the functionality or anything, but dented nonetheless (drifting contact).

how many FCs do you see in a day? how many members belong to this club?

does this look like a honduh forum?!

the odds are fairly good that the new owner will show sooner or later, these are not your everyday automobiles or engines.

Ahem, I said LOTS, not TONS. But of course, if you put a 3 cylinder turbo Suzuki Sprint up against a Viper what do you think is going to happen? Choose you victims carefully. My kill of choice was 5.0 Stangs and Integras. Just because I choose not to boost does not mean I dont know how to drive my FC.

Karack I respect your standing and knowledge but lets weigh the possibilitys here.
It is likely that the person that bought his car never opens the hood. It is possible that if they do they close it quickly and continue scratching their head. There is a good chance that the person who bought it will never work on it themselves. There is a chance (as you said these cars are rare) it IS in a junkyard. There is a chance that I am wrong about all these and the person knows about this forum and I still say that even with that possibility it is still a 1 in a 1000 shot that they will ever look at this thread. So like I said worth a shot but better odds in the lottery. LOVE THE SPELLING OF HONDA

5.0 Aganist a FC. Talk about funny. A mooded turbo 2 might be close to a 5.0 but thats just crazy talk. I love it when people pull up next to me at lights and race me without me even knowing were racing. Man my FD gets beat buy civics all the time. And any integra thats has work done to it would also kill a NA fc. Just thought I would let you know you beet up on a buch of grandmas going shoping. Buy the way I own a 5.0, And its almost as fast as my fd.

I dunno they might be able to beat my bone stock notch 5.0/t5.. it does have 187k on the original motor, clogged cats, and burned out 3rd and 4th syncros.. actually even then I don't know if it's gonna happen.
