I know this is probably a crapshoot but I need to at least try.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys (and gals), I�m currently trying to track down my father�s 2002 911, I have the vin (WPOAA29912S621429), but no pictures unfortunately. I know this is probably a crapshoot but I need to at least try. If anyone has any information about its whereabouts it would mean the world to me. It was the last 911 he ever owned and I would really love to know where it is now and perhaps even see it again even if it�s only in the form of a picture. Thanks!
FWIW the correct VIN is WP

AA29912S621429. Good luck!
edit: I tried searching cars with your father's build options on rennlist but didn't have any luck. You might want to pull a Carfax and at least that will give you an idea of where the car is. I'd join regional P-car FB groups/etc and ask around. Not a super common spec so it should be pretty easy to recognize when you find it.

edit2: looks like it was last titled in PA, around 2007. Car does not appear to have been totaled.
car was imported to canada in 2008. no services to report since September 2017. Last service in 2017 was in Oshawa, Ontario. I assume it was sold to someone outside of Ontario, as not all provinces participate with carfax.
Did you run a CarFax on it? CarFax might clue you in to buyer locations, service shops - many of which will not disclose details about the car, but some will. And when that happens, you can Google people�s names, reverse phone number lookups, mortgage info based on addresses, etc. It might sound creepy, but only if you are trying to be a creepy/sneaky person. You are just trying to find a vehicle. It�s amazing how much stuff is online these days.
