I'm looking at what's purported to be a 1978 280 Z 2+2 turbo with VIN HGS130-1130XX. However, I can't find any data based on the early VIN's only having 12-digits rather than the newer 15-digit numbering. How might I chase this care down based on her VIN? Secondly, in 1970, I bought a butterscotch 240Z in East Corinth, Maine and lowered the suspension, installed a 5-speed tranny and limited slip diff for auto-crossing along with home-made rear window louvre. I recall her VIN was HLS30-12015 or 17. I sold her in Denver in 1972 when we had children. Any suggestions how I might find out who currently owns my old 'Z'? I stopped by a "Z" club event in Mt. Dora, Florida last fall and didn't get any help from a handful of "old" Z owners when I told 1970 VIN story. Not very helpful and most impolite I might add. Thanks so much!

Having owned a sweet 240Z in 1970, I'm looking at what's purported to be a 1978 280Z 2+2 Turbo. However, when trying to chase down details on this car, I can't find anything when only entering the 12-digit VIN: HGS130-1130XX. Any suggestions where I can obtain information with only this shortened VIN? Thanks so much.
