  2. In and effort to reduce the spam on the site, several years ago I had went to a program where I manually approve each and every new registration. This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

How do I find my cars history??

Discussion in 'The "Paper Trail"' started by leojvs, Dec 25, 2007.

    I want to find my cars history, from when it left its production plant in Linden, NJ, in 1976, to how it ended with its owner, a Mr Smith (yes, im being serious) in 2001, in Victoria, Australia. What happened in that time? Who was its first owner, why did he/she sell it, and when was it boxed up, and shipped over here? Anyone have any links or ideas how to go about this? Im going to contact Chapel Engineering in Victoria, where the LHD to RHD conversion took place, and see if they have any documents on it.

    Cheers all!

    You may be able to contact the Sloan Museum in Flint MI and have them provide information from your VIN. If they do not have it the GM Heritiage Center may. Then when you get the dealership number you can see if you can find out who the dealer was. If you know what location it was originally sold you may be able to contact states directly to find out who registered it orginally. It may work.

    Does the Heritage Center also have VIN/build information?

    For just Buicks or all GM nameplates?

    Ahh, to be Canadian....or an Ontarian?

    here in Ontario we have the used vehicle report thats needed when a vehicle changes hands. Every owner/town is listed back to day 1 - if it stayed in the province.

    I do not know specifically what the GM Heritage center has but it claims to have a very large GM document collection. A person would have to get in contact with them with specific questions.
