locating my old 914 Options

[jb57tub]

Hello, I am trying to locate my old 1972 914. I bought it new, picked it up in Osnabruek, Germany, shipped it to Chicago from London, then drove it home to Lincoln, Nebraska. Ex got the car in divorce, but it stayed in Lincoln for as long as I kept track of it. Car was Ivory white with appearance groupe, pedrinni wheels, black int. Car was maintained by Bud Dunclaw at Road and Track Motors in Lincoln. Unfortunately I don't have the VIN on the car. Last LP I had on the car was Nebraska, G-914. DMV won't work with me just for personal purposes, must be some type of legal action to get VIN info. Not even my 29 years in law enforcement would sway them. Any info I can get on this car would be helpful, and there will be a finder fee if I can locate the car. Thank you for any help with my quest. Jon Blocker

A freedom of Information Act request is a Federal request unless the state you're dealing with was dumb enough to call the request the same thing. In my job I get these all the time, and we could just toss them all out due to improper wording. I am a nice guy and don't based on the fact I know the intent of the request. I have peers who don't care and file 13 the requests.

In Ohio the request you are looking for is a public records requests. And the information and access to the information is done on a state by state basis.

Information about the request and how it can be made are found here.

As it states they will only release information for a legal or regulatory body or agency. But as they recommend you may try the National Database of Vehicle Title Information System.

Nation VIN tracking was setup to follow cars being sold across stateliness in a not so honorable manner.

Best of luck to you, I would try other avenues to locate the VIN of the car, once you have that it makes tracing the vehicle much easier.
