Default Re: Trying to locate a COPO Chevelle

I've done the owner history thing a number of times for various cars that I have owned. Normally you have to start with the most recent owner and work backwards. The internet has made things somewhat easier, however the privacy law changes several years ago have made it more difficult in getting infomation from State DMV's on previous owners. As I found out in several cases, sometimes owners do not even re-title the car in their name before passing it along to a new owner. In one case, I found the original LS-6 engine for a car I owned sitting in the garage of an owner who never titled it in his name. It was only through phone conversations with other owners that I was able to even know he existed and then lucked out getting the engine.

An NICB search will give you when the car was shipped from Chevy and which dealership it went to. This is normally only accessible to law enforcement of insurance agencies.

Good luck!
