If you have your classic car's VIN, you can search classic car VIN decoder websites to help piece together a classic car history report, potentially including the car's make, model, engine and transmission type, year and location of manufacturing, and title history. Even if the classic car was made before VINs were standardized in 1981, some VIN decoder services may be able to help track the history of the car. Classic car VIN decoders may be free, and some require a fee depending on the service.
