Be Careful!
There are a lot of smart computer hackers out there. If you give them your VIN and options, they may just find some way to get a title to your car or to sell it on e-bay (note all those cars from Italy). Is it worth the hassle to you to give out that info?Comment

What a good idea-
and since the NCRS in made up of almost 100% unpaid volunteers, I assume that you will be the first to put in your name in as somebody that will create and constantly update this database for the benefit of others.
Thanks for volunteering!Comment

Re: What a good idea-
Since NCRS is the cornerstone to our hobby I would think it would be in their interest to promote the idea of a centralized location for all registered Corvettes. NCRS would not need to update the database, only collect the data. There are different registry's out there. It would be nice to centeralize this stuff. If NCRS has 35000 members that could account for a lot of cars. Have you not wondered if they made 22000 1967 corvettes how many are still on alive.Comment

Not only possible, but unfortunately nearly legal.
In the interest of not telling anyone how to do it, I will say that is is very possible to do right now in several states.
In one state, you need to have the following:
1. appraisel of car, to determine car fair value.
2. surety bond at 1-1/2 times car value
3. forms for the state and proper fees to get a title.
Then any claims against that car will receive the surety bond, not the car. And you get to keep the car.
In another state, you "sell" your car to a titling company.
1. You send them a bill of sale.
2. Include the proper fees, basically a couple of hundred depending on the car.
3. They send back bill of sale to you, forms from their state accepted by your state so you can get a title.
4. Go to your state with the forms and get a new title in your name in your state.
The first one you need someone to appraise it without seeing it, which isn't all that hard. $50 and someone will sign one.
Then all you need is a VIN. With a VIN, many states will issue a license plate or tag, and you trot down to where the car lives, change tags, and drive away in the middle of the night.
When the owner wakes up the next morning and reports it stolen, you are long gone and have a car. And if your paperwork preceeds his theft report by a bunch, it can get very confusing, maybe enough you keep the car. With the surety bond, you definitely keep the car unless someone figures you really committed a crime.
