    DMV title and VIN searches by State

    I was wondering if anyone knows what states still have title and VIN data available back to 1967? I have a 67 Corvette and I'm trying to find states that offer a VIN or title search for more than just 10 years. So far, only MO., MS, and Kansas have said they have data back as far as I need it. Anyone have a complete list available?

    I know I need to sign a form that states that I will not contact owners. Privacy act.

    Thanks,
    Steve

        Thanks. Do you know if publicdata.com will give info back 40 years or is this just a look up of recent registration records? In other words, did you use it and get data from 30+ years ago?

            Steve, Most states will only go back 10 - 15 years at the most so time is of the essence. WHat state did your car come from? What are your clues, old gas receipts, repair decals, oil change stickers, etc. If your title lists another from your state start with yours. If it lists a differnet state start there. One important thing for you to remember is include your state DL# and experation with all of your forms/requests. The new Federal law requires it. Also most fees are minimal $2 to $6. You must also have a reason to do the search. There are several reasons I always use when submitting. 1.) Vehicle Alteration - You are checking to see if your car was altered (salvage title etc) 2. Odometer Verification - Your are checking to see if stated miles are correct. 3. Smog/emmisions history - Did you buy a car that can't pass emmisions? 4. Non published statistical surveying.... Not sure what that means, but I have used it! I have had luck with: Arizona, California, Texas, North Dakota (they were great... Must be a lady there just waiting for my request. Got it bak in 5 days!) Have not had luck with Ohio. Before 1981 all records were kept at the county level and the appear to have not been collected when they change to a state wide DMV. Keep notes, scoure the States web pages for the forms ( usualy az.gov, ca.gov, oh.gov etc will take you to their root page) All of the forms seem to be titled differently. Some are unde "Driver History" some arte Title History, Individual information etc. When in doubt use the contact email listed and ask. For those of you checking for post 1977 VINs start with GM they have the original delaer invoices available for $50. Just remember the people you contact about your car are just like us. Most of them sold their cars cause they had to (babies on the way, lost jobs etc) I akin it to contacting your wifes old boyfriends/ husbands. Some get very emotional. Good luck. Eric #3,182

                I have done many title searches and they go back even to the 60's in some cases. Texas is very good some states are not as good.

                    I did an Oregon title search when I got one of my '63s in '76 and they searched it back to about '64 IIRC. Then these 2 brothers sold it back and forth 2 or 3 times. So I guess that makes the 3rd or 8th owner
