Default VIN Check

Hey guys,

Just hoping someone might have access to checking the VIN on a Z06 I'm buying next weekend. Sold my coupe last fall and am upgrading to a Z06. Just want to do all the research possible on the car first.

Looking specifically for accident history/outstanding or completed recalls etc.

*shakes tin cup*

Thank you!

Thanks for the info guys. Looked at the car yesterday and.....

To keep a long story short, the new ride had a big problem. Crank pulley bolt backed out, crank pulley was loose and banging on the steering rack. Happened a day before I was to meet him and pick it up.

P.O. thought it needed an alternator. Service charging system indicator on... Voltage gauge reading low. Makes sense right? So he goes and buys one after work yesterday, installs it before we get there and it's now making a horrific noise and not charging. Taking the tension off of the pulley by loosening the belt must have made it come off?... I presume the belt or pulley was slipping before replacing the belt.

He though that somehow he got a bad remanned alternator. Sounded unlikely which was true lol.

The second alternator installed while I was there looking the car over. Car is super nice, seems legit. I noticed the crank pulley moving when we were lining the belt up and sure enough. He starts it and the sucker makes the same godawful noise.

He's going to fix it and inspect the crank snout. It has a factory dampener and an ARP bolt. 3K miles on a major engine build.... Stuff happens. I don't think he knew it was bad.

It has an ERL 427 dry sleeved block/AI 280cc heads. Rpm B-3 cam etc. Built car with a big issue. There's no way he could have known it was the crank pulley, and had me drive three hours to look at a car that was undrivable, let alone think I would make it a mile down the road.
