No there's not.

The 17-digit standardized VIN was instituded around '78 or so and was mandatory by '81.

Before that, manufacturers could put together any mishmash of numbers and letters (except no letter I and no letter O) and call it a VIN.

He could go down to the local DMV and pay them to do a check.
