I'm blocking the license plate in hopes of linking the number to the VIN, if I can get something like that done these days?

I'm afraid your chances of that are slim to none. In early 1997, I wrote to the IL Secretary of State's office with just the license number of a car I owned back in 1971-1972. I got back all the info on it including the VIN. In late 2002, after I bought our current Chevelle, I wrote to them and got only copies of titles back to the early 1980's....with most any pertinent info (including the VIN) blocked out. The original owner owned our car until 1978 and they had absolutely no records from when she owned it - they said everything prior to that time (early 1980's) had been destroyed
