How would I go about trying to find my first car?

I was looking at some old pictures from my high school days and I kept seeing my first car - a 1976 green Chevy Monza Town Coupe. She wasn't the prettiest thing and smoked a little bit, but to a 16-year-old, it was the best birthday gift a young kid could ask for. She wasn't a race car, but she could go from 0-60 in a blazing 45 seconds! There were a lot of great memories made in that car.

Even though it's probably crushed in some salvage yard, is there any way I could locate it if I were able to find the VIN number? I would love get her back just for nostalgia and to maybe putt around town a little bit.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
