I have a hatch on my car with a VIN that is different than the rest of my car. I would like to know some history about this hatch replacement but I don't want to $40 know about the history. I think I am going to have to breakdown and just pay unless you get some tips on free VIN searches.

I don't have any definitive info, but there's no good scenario under which an '89 GT loaned its rear hatch to another car. I don't know what happens when you buy a CARFAX on a car that's been totalled and dismantled, but I'd bet that's what happened to WP0JB0927KS861198

There were never any accidents reported and no visual signs of damage. I would love to know the when, where, why of how my car came to need a replacement hatch. I am guessing the glass broke and it was cheaper/easier to put on another black hatch than to find glass.

CARFAX only covers 17 digit VINs, and they didn't exist until 1991, so they will have nothing for '79.
For checking whether a car has a salvage title, an NVMTIS search might be illustrative:
