Searching for a car using the Vin/Serial No

[Cello530]

I have been trying to track down a 260 Z that I bought new in 1974 and sold in 1978 .The web sites I have been using indicate that the number is invalid . I have the original window sticker and it shows Serial No RLS30-018365 ,not a Vin # as we know it today . Any sugestions on possibly finding this car if it hasn't already been crushed. I'm just curious to see if it is still around.

That won't do any good. North American market 260Z's had VINs that started with RLS30.

The only Z-car registry that includes 260Z's and 280Z's that I know of is the one in this thread: http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?27519-Online-Z-Car-registry. It is an online excel spreadsheet that often gets screwed up, but it looks ok now. There is a registry on zhome.com, but that is only for 240Z's.
