Default Carfax report

I was wondering if someone could run a carfax report on a car I am looking at. It is a white 1998 Trans Am with 80k, original adult owner who said it was never modified or in an accident, he sent me the vin if I wanted to run a report. He seems trustworthy but I just want to make sure. Here is the Vin 2G2FV22G3W2225980. If someone could please help me out I would be very greatful, I am so excited because this will be my second f-body and my first LS1. My email is F1CamaroSS@aol.com
Thanks a lot for the help, Dan
