Since you have the original title, that should narrow down the state. I think that Eddie Stakes Planet Houston website has a list of dealers by state with their dealer id number. What state was the car from?

The first 2 numbers of the dealer number is the AMC Zone.
Yours has 42, which was the Pittsburg, PA Zone, so your car was sold originally by a dealer from that area....

Guys, I have a more detailed question on this topic. In the example above, I understand that 42 is the zone number and 1746 is the dealer number. 

My question is about the Zone Order Number. Take a look at the window sticker for Eddie Stakes' 71 Matador. http://www.planethoustonamx.com/window-stickers/71-AMC-Matador-prices-Stakes.jpg

The Zone is 10. The Zone Order number is 10-638333. Is there any meaning to the 638333 portion? Is it simply a serial number or was there further coding in this number?

Reviving this thread, but with way less inof on my AMX. Best I can say is it came out of south Jersey.
Any way to trace a VIN to a region or better yet, dealership.
Thanks,
Dave
