Title search back to '67, how is it done???

[budnate]

Howdy, I need a little help, I purchased a 67 RS/SS 350 car from southern Cal two years ago and would like to do a title search of all owners from new and maybe still be able to contact them, Not sure if the Car-fax thing will work all the way back to í67. any help would be appreciated.

Thnx Bud

Bud a car fax only goes back to 1981. Even if it went back farther it does not give previous owner info anyway. I have done several successful title searches but they could get tricky. Most states only keep records for a short time. Sometimes 5-7-10 years. A lot of states have a privacy law and will not even give a person the info. I would call the DMV and ask first before you write a letter to request a records search. Good luck

I have the original invoice were my father bought a 55 Belair at a local dealer here in town. I would like to find out what happened to the car and if it is still alive today. I have the vin.#'s, is there a way to find out the current owner? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/dunno.gif[/img]

Can you e-mail with any tips, I am in up in Washington, and the car was in San-Diego Ca,and from some of the paperwork looks like it was in Arizona shorty, I think this is where owner #2 bought it and took it back to San-Diego, I bought it from a middle man that was a friend of owner #2 he had bothered him for years to sell it to him, must have finally caught him just right, but the middle man was probably not supposed to sell it, and pi$$ed off #2 guy, thus not able to retrieve the a/c comp and related parts that was off the car when i bought it. The short of it is I think he was in the Navy and out to Sea most of the time, He sighned the milage statement at 48K orig, to be Honest it is tough to tell if it is correct or 148K, He drove the car but didnt abuse it, it has the normal Desert dirt everywhere, and it sat in a carport and was drilled by the sun in through the drivers window and cooked some of the Interior, I would like to figure out the history of the car before I break it down for a quick detail job.

Thnx in advance for the help, Bud. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/[/img]

Check with your secretary of state...but the best thing is if you have names of owner #2 try to talk to him or start doing white page searches on the internet...it worked for me a couple times but I may have just gotten lucky...

If you know a state patrolman or wish to call your state patrol HQ they have a specialist to address car related stuff. they have access to top secret NICB database. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] good luck.!!!!

I have asked 4 police officers,and my personal insurance agent,and 2 other insurance agents about the NICB.None of them have any knowledge of them or at least would not tell me anything.I know the NICB exists because I have been to there web site,I guess it just takes the right person to find out about them.One of the people I asked is an Auto Theft Detective.He said he had never heard of them,I told him to check out there website that he might could use them for information.He has never gotten back to me to let me know what he has found out.

Bobby,
I think somebody is pulling your leg! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bs.gif[/img]
People abandon cars all the time around here and never transfer the title. It gets to be a real circus trying to find out who will fess up to owning the car last. I know in MN there is such a thing as a manual look-up for all owners of a vehicle and it has to come from a teletype from the law enforcement agency. I think I've only used it once so far in my career! I believe I also have the phone number for somebody at NICB in case I have questions about something. I just dug through some old paperwork in my desk and saw it. Now I hope I didn't throw it out with the other junk.

Check to see if your State has a web site for DMV(department of motor vehicles) Maybe you can email somebody there to see if it can be done. Otherwise check at your local license bureau to see if they can help you.

Here's a link for all you MN people here: www.dps.state.mn.us
Maybe substitute your state into the address to see if your state has one.
