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.

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.

This Camaro has had at least one complete exterior repaint, it would not qualify for B.G. type Survivor judging.

Better check your facts Stefano. I have it on good authority to the contrary. From the ebay ad:


<font color="red"> "NO Rust, 19,000 Original Miles

Car Has Not been Restored"
</font>

"In 1968 A General Motors Executive ask Nickey Chevrolet to build a 427 Convertible
Nickey said No, but that they would build him a 302 Convertible Super car He said Ok. <font color="blue">Cool Story, Never heard about this one? Who was the Executive? </font>

In 1969 Randall Bianchi asked Nickey Chevrolet Bill Thomas ( <font color="blue"> Bill Thomas did not work with Nickey on the 1969 Models ) </font> to build a 427 Convertible Nickey Camaro Stage III car but they said No.
Randall Bianchi was not satisfied with the answer and promised to not hold them accountable for the frame damage if they would build the car.
After a lot of bagging Nickey Chevrolet agreed to build a Convertible stage three car.
And Here it is!!!!"

LOL....Why on Earth would a Chevy Dealer say no to a GM Executive ? It sounds like the seller is trying to tie this car to the Z28 convert that GM built. As far as I know Nickey didn't build that car.

And in general for a dealer to turn away business.
