Checking car history question
So when I bought my 81 was told by the dealer it was a survivor with 19,543 miles. They bought it from the step son of the guy who bought it new as the story goes. I did a vin check a few months ago from Experian, Auto check and it came back with no problems but only shows it purchased in 1995 then sold in 2014, step son and then me. Is this strange that it only goes back to 95? Are there any other ways of finding out or going back to the original purchase? Love my car even if it has 119,543 miles on it but would be nice to know. Its a very clean car underneath , original exhaust system with converter and when I replaced the radiator and water pump they seemed original as well. Thanks for the tips as usual!
