hey, i'm trying to track a 76 malibu classic that my grandma once owned
i do have the vin
how do i go about tracking?
would plugging it into carfax do anything or...?
really not sure how to do this, but i assume with the vin it'll be a lot easier

 

Oh, I thought you were asking about building a track/road race car.
Car fax will show you the past registrants of the car, so you may be able to find it by contacting the newest one on the list.

I am not sure if it works on older cars though, oldest one I've done was my 86 Trans Am.

 

anybody have a free carfax thing going on right now?
i think you have to pay to do that right?
wondering if anybody has an account or if they have a 30day member thing
thanks for the reply
and no, i could not possibly turn my grandma's old car into a track car
she'd kill me

 

If the car means that much to you, why not order yourself a carfax account and just pay for the service?

 

carfax won't go back that far

 

hmm, anybody got any other ideas then?
i was trying to make it quick and easy, but if i have to i can contact the guy she sold it to to, and get his records, then keep piggybacking from one person to the next

 

try the dealer. The service department may be able to bring up a service history from the vin. That may give you somewhere to at least start to track down the various owners. Good luck.

 

If you get me the VIN, I can maybe find out who it is currently registered to and located I can usually go off a license plate number better, but a VIN may suffice.
