All,
I've been doing a lot of searching in old threads (honest Andy!). But I'm not finding any details. I'm looking to find some history of my car. I believe it was a Palm Springs car for most of its life, and I emailed a couple current dealers in the area, asking if they had any records for the VIN number... but no luck I was hoping there was a way to trace back to which dealer originally sold the car, or possibly find some history or records for the car. (When I bought the car, there was no maintenance book, and the history story was not able to be verified). I have the original Cali Blue Plates, but not sure if they provide any value to getting some history for the car. Do any of you Cali guys have any tricks to find some history via the VIN or Blue Plate? Turk |

Do you have any paperwork that shows a dealership number? Here is an example:
 In the image above, the dealer is Anderson/Behel and the dealer number is 426 A07. I know you don't have the service record book, but if you can find any document that might have a dealer number printed or hand written on it, it might help you narrow your search. |
