914 Report Options

[lcjo73914]

Anybody know any online service that I can get info of a 914 using the VIN #?
I bought this 1975 914, and the former owner had it for parts, but the car is so go condition that really hurt part it out.
It came with the original fuchs, the top dash does not have a single crack, and bodywise is pretty good. So, I was thinking of getting this car register and restore it.
It does not have the license plate. I went to KBB, and there sent me to Autocheck.com. I paid and when entered thin VIN, the autocheck gave the make, model and year, and the last time somebody put information was in 2001.
It is not showing register to anybody
No theft, damage, report.
Is this autocheck.com a good one to check?

Thanks for the help

Try the Stockton PD suggestions or a call to AAA DMV services (if you have AAA membership) to see if that gets what you need.

if not, or in addition, you can go to the CA DMV website & look in their downloadable forms for their "Information Request Form & instructions for same, & hten you can print it out, fill in what info you have on the car & from AutoCheck (it's pretty useless on classic cars, as others said), & send it in with the appropriate fee in a check. They take some weeks to get back to you.

Alternatively or if the above doesn't work, you can try Donna Leek for assistance in getting it registered. I know a few people who have used her for cars (including at least one on here), trucks & vintage trailers/RVs, etc., but haven't needed to use her personally.

So long as it's not reported stoolen, then you should be able to get it registered under the current range of standard & custome plates (including the Yellow on Black 60's look plates (unfortunately they didn't do the Blue/Yello from the 914 era).

Good Luck!
