Default 94 FX3 Vette

I ran across a vette today and seriously considering buying it. Its a 94 FX3 looks pretty stock except for an upgraded exhaust. I've done some research but thought it best to ask they guys who would know the most. I looked for oil leaks from trans and engine and nothing. Any other way to look for abuse? Any way to look up the vin without having to pay? 1G1YY22P5R5115333 thats the vin if there is a way to see if its been wrecked or if anyone knows anything about the car. Thanks in advance for any help

- Chris

and after those results there's an NMVTIS link bottom right to use. Nothing less expensive.

There was a fellow a few days/weeks ago that was offering free CARFAX for users.

So many people want the value of the info on a Carfax, yet don't want to pay the company for their efforts. Some will buy a $50K car and balk at $39 for a car fax. Having said that, because I'm buying a 95, also with FX3, and purchased the 5 reports within 60 days and I want you to feel better about the car you're looking at, I am going to try to post your Carfax here if I can figure out a way to get it to show. It's a pdf file.

Please note at the end of the report, it says "no information has been received on this car since 2013". You might inquire with the seller as to why that might be?
