You hit the nail on the head! Previous owner history is without a doubt, the most telling tale of any muscle car today. People are too quick to just look a car, with its matching this and that, combined with any paperwork and automatically assume they are buying an original untouched car.

Previous owners of any car that spent it's life up here in Ontario, Canada can be pretty easily found through DMV records and I have no doubt that some states also have this service. Regardless, there are some Title service companies that can find out who used to own the car in the past and if not, any cop can find some info on the car. Everyone has a cop friend right?

If someone is selling a low mileage legitimate collector car, they will ALWAYS have the name and phone number of the previous owner. Don't be scared to call up a previous owner before you buy a car.
