How to find US car history with "old VIN number", from abroad

[BenneGu]

Hi all,
I own a VW Type 1 Cabriolet 1973 which was exported as new to the US from Germany. It was in 2010 exported to Sweden where it is now. I would like to find out it's history in US. I have the VIN number. The car also has a sign from Department of Transportation California where a "replacement VIN number" has been added to the door frame. I guess it means a salvage upper body has been added to the car?

The number is the same as the body main frame number located under the back seat.

I searched sites like DMV but they require US social security number or similar.

How can I get hold of the car history from abroad ( non US citizen)?

Any tips or trix are more than welcomed! Thanks in advance!
