Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1965 cadilac title search history, cadillac eldorado, character vin


Question
I have a 1965 Cadillac Eldorado.  How can I do a title search history on this
vehicle with a 8 character vin number starting with the letter E?  Most all of
the sights out there are for newer cars with a 17 character vin number.  

Answer
Hi Laura:
Nice Car. However, the automotive industry did not start tracking automobile history until 1981-82 model years. Anything prior to that you have to rely on documentation that comes with the vehicle. I tell a lot of sellers of older cars that a well documented car can increase the value by 15% to 20% above NADA book value.

If you can get any information from the previous owner that will lead to that previous owner, and so forth, that would be your best bet.

Hope this helps...
