Re: lost VIN how to find

Color combo, options, anything unique or unusual about the car? Last time you saw it? Did you ever see it locally after it was repo'd because banks typically sold these off to local car dealers back then.

As has been stated, without any VIN data, your quest is akin to looking for a needle in a haystack. My dad built a '32 Plymouth street rod in the early seventies with a 392 Hemi in it, sold it in 1978. I have numerous photos of it, it had a ton of unique features, and I hunted for that car for almost a decade before finding it in Indiana through advertising in the Good Guys club paper. Car is in Indiana, disassembled, guy won't sell it for anything.

I've tried finding some of my dad's older cars before, he had a lot of really interesting cars, never had any luck with it. If you don't have anything with a VIN on it or there wasn't anything especially unique about the car, I'm afraid your battle is going to be just about hopeless.
