Here's the answer from the Carfax FAQ:
Question

Why can I not obtain a CARFAX Report on vehicles made before 1981??
Answe
We are unable to provide you with vehicle history information for
vehicles manufactured prior to 1981, when the 17 character VIN became
standard. The 17 character VIN is the code that is used to access
CARFAX?s vehicle history information database.

To our knowledge there are no sources from whom pre-1981 vehicle
history information is readily available. You could try to contact
vehicle-specific clubs or groups focused on older vehicles - but we
have not found any of source with even close to comprehensive data on
older cars. In most cases the records simply no longer exist or are
on paper or microfiche in a storage closets.
