I tried getting through a couple of times with limited success. Not giving up on that I actually called again today and left another message for the gal in charge of this department to call me back. NC DMV has purged all info prior to 1990 with any older information now stored on microfilm. Apparently, this title department I was dealing with can request the microfilm department search for a given VIN, but I was told this would take some time to search. If a VIN has originally been titled in NC, they would have a record of it as well as a copy of its Certificate of Origin. Her department is the one that requests those film searches, but she was very clear this taking some time to produce. Once a VIN is found, they can then add it back into the database and produce copies of any original documents that are found.
I'm hoping that a couple of gentle reminders and follow up calls helps speed that process along, and hoping that the car was originally from North Carolina as was rumored. Shot in the dark and time will tell...
