Find a car by a 13-digit VIN

[Vimes]

While going through my deceased father's paperwork, I found a suprising discovery - the bill of sale for my first car, with the VIN written on it. It was surprising that he still had it, considering it was bought in 1985 or 1986. I've often wondered what happened to it, and wouldn't mind getting my hands on it. Does anyone have a way to search for a 13-digit VIN? So far my Duck-Fu has let me down.
