Hi, I started a title search on my 68 corvette. Car is 68 corvette coupe, 427/390hp, dark blue/dark blue, vin is 194378S419034. Car was painted silver at one time. I am looking for any information on it from previous owners. I was able to trace the ownership back to Arizona in 1984 to a Kenneth, Earl McKenzie with plate number AXA703. I was able to find him through a DMV search that eventually directed me to him. The information sent to me from Arizona says the title number at that time was J706523 and that the title number to the preveous owner was J706523. The DMV in Arizona says it has no earlier information on this VIN because the info before that time was purged. I suspect the car may have come from Utah at one time. Any suggestion on how to procede further back than this would be appreciated. Best regards, Terry

How can the title # & prev title # be the same? *NM*

Re: How can the title # & prev title # be the same
Screw up on my part. My eye sight seems to be going down hill these days. I meant to say that the owner prior to Kenneth McKenzie (title # J706523) had the title # J516221. Thank you for your responce, TerryComment

So you know McKenzie bought the car
in AZ - "J516221" is an AZ title # - Can he remember who from, if it was a private party or where, if it was a dealer? "M989862" is an AZ title issued March 1987, so you know it was prior to that.....Comment

Re: So you know McKenzie bought the car
What little information from the Arizona DMV that I have show a date around 1984 and 1985. I have talked to McKensie as recently as today. He is receptive to helping me. I gave him the information I have and he plans on contacting the Arizona DMV. I don't think he will get much farther than me unless the person I talked with at the DMV was just too lazy to do a full search. He did mention that he remembered buying the car from a young couple in his area. So... maybe he will remember where they lived and I could do a search through the court house about who lived at that address. A long shot...I can't imagine doing that but what have I got to lose. I remember a guy posted that he had good results searching his 67 corvette all the way back to his original owner throught the DMV this last fall. I wonder why he had such good luck?Comment

Re: So you know McKenzie bought the car
Loren, you mentioned a that the library may have a directory for that year. What sort of information is contained in it. Is it like a address book for a particular year for a town? Thanks, TerryComment

Re: So you know McKenzie bought the car
Name, address, reverse lookup of phone # and occasionally, an occupation. But in a msall town the librarian may know them personally.Comment
