I tried to get a VIN on a car my parents bought in 70/71 or so new off a lot, a 68 Daytona.
No information in our state even from people that were willing to look at records. My Mom had an old friend that is P.I. look into it as a favor and the crumb trail is not there. Depending on where you are your mileage may vary. The dealership is still there but a combination of a partial fire in the early 90s and going totally to computers in the late 90s did it in. It is sad how much information from prior to the past few decades has been lost. Although, so much information can be gathered and stored now there will probably be more problems with that.

Do you really think it's numbers matching all original?"

Fixed it for you.
Shouldn't be too hard to find that car. Winged warrior fans seemingly know every one of those cars, and ones they don't know of intrigue them. |

Thanks, I think I know where it is. Problem is, parents sold it around 76. No record of VIN that can be found in our possesion. Only one car F6 with white stripe/interior auto 440 car went to our state. That is the car in a guys mopar collection in GA. He bought it from someone that bought it from the town we sold it in. But... we did not buy that car from that dealership it went to. We bought it from a dealership 3 hours or so away from there. And the dealership we bought it from never received one. It was bought new a year or two after it was made, with a couple of hundred miles of test drives on the odometer. So, I THINK I know where it is, but don't have the VIN to prove it's the same car. And as a guy that has about 17K into a NOM/converted from TH auto to Muncie 69 GTO nice driver, 5K into a 71 Javelin rough driver with original drivetrain, and 4K into a 74 Roadrunner yard driver that does not have the original motor, and consider myself lucky and happy, let's just say that a restored Daytona is well out of my price range.

A officer found a 74 SD 4spd for me. I had the block. Could't make the deal until a couple a mos. ago. then Igot a 74 SD for the block which was reunited with the car.
