What would be the best way to find the whereabouts of a old car if you have the vin? Tried the state dmv and was told that isn't their job. They something about a lawyer could track it down but I don't know what kind of form they would use to find out.

Have you put the VIN in a search engine? Thats a start.

There are a couple different Facebook groups that are for searching for old cars. Might want to put some posts out on those as well.

What is the VIN? You can run an NMVTIS and at least see which state the car is registered in, if it's registered.

I found an old car of mine by giving the vin to a police friend

A Private investigator can run it. I did that for dad's old Bronco.

Electronically. It costs money but you can find out more in the web address below. If the car is registered, the report will tell you which state it's registered in, not owner information

Various vendors available. I use it everyday at work.
