Where can i get a vehicle history report of an older 911?

hello,

i own a '73 911 coupe which came from italy to the u.s. and then back to germany.

i have the vin , a californian number plate and found a member card (with a name on it) of the "Sierra Club" in san francisco inside the car.

the vin has only 10 digits and the car is to old ('73) so carfax won't work

any idea where i can get more infos about the history of the car?

btw, everything is o.k. with the car, no problems with the former owner! its only for my personal curiosity.

thanks

When was the last time the car was registered in California? If within the last 5 years, you can do a $5 search through the DMV for registration info. However, if the car has not been active within the California DMV system for five years, that info gets expunged.

edit: If you want to try that California DMV search, do a search (here on Pelican) for "DMV" and "Grady Clay." There is a thread from a couple years ago entitled "California Vehicle Search" or something like that. Read down to Grady's post about 7 or 8 posts into the thread. He'll explain how to do it.
