It sounds like the records he searched at NICB were the insurance claims records. All they would show would be prior insurance claims. He may not know that he has to contact NICB headquarters and have them pull the microfiched shipping records for that VIN. What you are looking for is the shipping record that would show the original dealer destination code of Baldwin Chevrolet. </div></div>

Steve, Are saying that information is now available to a normal guy without an ongoing official investigation?

Sadly, no. There has to be some legal issue with the car for them to do it. Such as a possible rebody or VIN swap or insurance fraud and someone in law enforcement has to request it for their investigation. For example, I remember a few years back when an &quot;air car&quot; 70 hemi roadrunner ragtop surfaced. (Air car = car that appears out of thin air with no history). The NICB search indicated that delivery destination for that VIN originally had a 383 engine code not an &quot;R&quot; hemi code in it.
