Back in 2009, I ran every 96 GTS VIN via CarFax. Back then, you could run an unlimited amount of reports; however, they would lock my account after each 200 that I looked up. I would then have to provide them a detail justification of what I was doing and confirm I was not running the VIN's for personal profit.
We do not have an official GTS registry, but I thought about building a website dedicated to the 96 GTS. I already have the domain
www.96gts.com. If anyone would like to pursue a 96 GTS website, that would be great. Due to my kids getting older (now 6 and 10), by down time has dropped. Over the past year, I have not been keeping up with all the sales and accidents like I did in the past.
For the OP, I am sorry about your car. Best wishes to get everything resolved.
