NCIB Reports - What Exactly Is One???

[leach]

There still has to be someone able to run NCIB checks out there would love to run one on 2 cars my 1970 Nickey converted 427 Nova to prove where it was sold new since the NCIB check ran 2 years ago showed it was sold in Canada and Canada has no record of the car. Also on a 1968 Yenko Camaro 396/375 car that never got converted to 427 one of 6 non converted cars that got ordered with special COPO 9737 option. Let me know if anyone still does these checks don't need owners names since I have all owners names except first one which dealers are more important.

Barry, any info rec'd in the past from NICB will still be the same today. Be happy you have these cars, they seem to be from the top of the heep.
As xplant would say, we want pics!

The problem is that in order to access the system for the old stuff, you have to provide a lot of detailed information on why you are accessing the system and provide a lot of credentialing on the user (person accessing the system itself) and NOBODY wants to give that up if something blows up (privacy law wise) down the road. I know a lot of the Police depts have been warned not to try to access it unless it is pertaining to an open case/car theft etc.

This is right on target -- accountability. You need a case number and better have a good reason for your request when obtaining one. However in some states you can now legally obtain license tag info for a fee, which was not permitted years ago. I think NICB may be sitting on a cash cow if the privacy law issue was re-legislated to some extent for this.

I was having this conversation just the other night. It seems the consensus is post 9/11 this report has become impossible to conduct. Have members here seen this trend as well?

But if the report is merely information on where the car was originally delived to it does not seem like sensitive information. Does the report reveal anything else about the history of the car??

Seems like it varies...some just list original selling dealer, but others are more detailed and show delivery date/dealer/dealer code.

Seems like dad had pitched the idea to someone @ one time about it being semi-pertinent in avoiding possible insurance scams down the road [guys claims his non-Yenko he owns is a Yenko, insures it for $xxxx dollars, then burns it to the ground], but it fell on deaf ears...

The fact that a VIN is on a shipping list confirms that the VIN is a real one. That in and of itself can be a critical piece of evidence. I recall a case several years ago where some guys were selling a rather fishy 1970 hemi roadrunner convertible. When the police ran the VIN through NICB, the only VIN that existed with that exact sequencial number (last 6 digits) turned out to have an N (383) instead of an R (hemi) code in the VIN. That was instant evidence of a VIN fabrication.

There must be someone doing it because I see references to NICB reports for certain cars.
