Default 13 didget VIN

Is there any way to get past history for a 1979 c3? Have the VIN but the sites I tried don’t accept it.

Nope. You can ask the previous owner. That's about it.

There are sites u can check for stolen or salvage. My 75 checks out fine. The salvage certificate I have says otherwise…

Here. Use this one. It has worked for other cars with issues.

Also, if it's been smogged (or still is) you can check the BAR website for those records. They appear to only go back to like 1996 because I first got mine smogged in 1985 and the only record remaining is 1996. (last year I had to get it smogged).
