WOW!! Ultra Rare L88 Nickey Camaro!!!?

[Smokey]

This is more fun than the swing dancing classes last night!

So do we get to see any of the paperwork if it exists?

Some of us like buying paperwork cars with original paint. Look at CLills Camaro that Nickey helped his buy within the last few days.

The info from their site seems to imply that your local insurance agent may have access to the data base.

NICB - who we are

Don't we have a few here?

The NICB records were more easily available in years past, than they are today. With recent, more stringent privacy laws, NICB now requires a law enforcement case number to link to the request.

The shipping records came from the auto manufacturers' assembly plant records and they are far from complete. Some plants never sent their records, some lost the records.

An example of a case I saw an NICB printout for was when a fourth, "1 of 3" 1970 hemi Roadrunner ragtops popped up for sale and some local law enforcement people were very suspicious. A check of that VIN in the NICB database revealed that it was originally a 383 car that someone created a new VIN plate for and put in the hemi engine code. It confirmed that the VIN RM27R0XXXXXX didn't exist, but the exact same numerical VIN RM27N0XXXXXX did.

The NICB data will show only three things: 1) The VIN, 2) the date of shipment and 3) the destination dealer code.

It will also show if the car has been stolen. I had given my VIN to someone that had access to the NICB a few years ago and although he never got all the information while he was checking on my car he did confirm what I allready knew but had not told him.... That my car had been stolen and recovered. I don't know where he got the information and why I didn't get a full rundown of the available information on my car but he did tell me about the theft and that the car had resided in the carolinas at some point. I don't know wheather he meant the car was sold new in the carolinas or if he had access to other information about it just being owned there at sometime. He had to get back to real work and never finished up on my 68.

Correct. That is a different search that NICB can do, for any insurance claims ever made against a particular VIN. That is the main purpose of the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB), as a clearinghouse of claims records and to help deter future insurance fraud.

My car has a permanent record.... She's been a bad girl...

The National Insurance Crime Bureau was established 100 or so years ago as the National Automobile Theft Bureau. Their data base is never purged and therefore have decades of available information. The access to this info is limited to insurance companies licensed in the United States, car rental companies, car auctions and car finance companies. Access to these NICB records is governed by parameters that are established by the FBI and NICB by-laws.

However there is a public VINCheck whereby the inquiry will respond with an indication that the vehicle has been reported as stolen, flood damaged, declared a total loss or nothing found.
