Kinda new here and I could use a little help on researching my GTOs past. So far I have the PHS doc and the copy of the orginal window sticker saying the car was delivered to "Oakes Motor Company" in Oxford, NC. I also found a New York license plate EA1 99W, no year sticker, while replacing a quarter panel. The VIN on the car is 237375P107432. Original 389, 4 barrell, 4 speed.

I bought the car in Jersey in '03, the guy I bought it from didn't offer much help on it's past, which did scare me a little but so far the numbers match so it looks like a real one not a clone. I am doing a full frame off, so I spend most of my time (and money!!) on the car. Figure I can get into the history bit a little later, just thought if I could pick up a few tips here it would same me some time later. Appreciate anything anyone has to offer.

ok, those plates were used from 1986-somewhere around 2000-2002. unfortunately that is one of the longest runs of plates that ny used. ny dmv doesn't keep records on anything that hasn't been registered in over 7 years i believe. had to have them re-instate the title for my lemans which had been off the road since 98 because the are automatically erased from the system.

Thanks. I kinda figured the tags were a dead end. I tried looking on ny's dmv site and didn't see anything too helpful. Still trying to run down the orginal dealer from the sticker info I got from PHS. Not a lot of luck there so far either.
