track ownership of a car from the late 70s

[blue5.8]

my father sold his first car in the late 70s early 80s here in cincinnati i am trying to find the car to try and buy it back for his 50th birthday is there anyway to find the vin of this car i have no documentation or anything?

[facemelter71]

Vin number,title number, any of those would make this ALOT easier.

[blue5.8]

yeah i know and i dont have any of that

[facemelter71]

I used the vin from my car and tracked it back to a toyota dealer in Colerain. All the other owners were private owners. Carfax might be a little more in depth.

Without the VIN you're pretty much out of luck unless it's a car that happens to be rare or unusual enough that there aren't that many of them out there.

What kind of car is it?

1967 camaro rs-ss car midnight blue auto

Well, at least it's a car that has a reasonable chance of surviving...I was concerned you were going to say it was a 1974 Mustang II or something. ;)

Still, without a VIN it's going to be next to impossible to locate the exact car. Even if you found one, how would you go about identifying it?

Try his insurance agent...heard someone used the local bmv to get a 30 yr old lost title once
