Thanks For the help Marlin,

I know what you mean with the DMV guys anything that doesn't create an "outside of the box" situation is better

It has a section for which a write in answer is required

"Purpose of request"

Then it says see instructions permissible use of DMV record information

The instructions are not on the form so I assume there back on the web site somewhere

Here is a link to the instructions http://www.dmv.ca.gov/forms/inf/inf70_r8_2004.pdf

I have had only limited luck dealing directly with the DMV and their stupid a$$ forms. I have, however, had a great deal of luck tracing my various CA cars history all the way back with the AAA here, but specifically with one old bird who had retired from the DMV and worked at ACSC in Long Beach (which has access to the same Government records). I found through dealing with one difficult situation in particular, that there is a boatload of info available to those knowledgeable people with the right access who know how to get to it. I dealt with her several times, and in that one instance, it took here 30 minutes of going through those digital archives just to get to the beginning, so there was a level of patience required you will not find common. I was sucking up to her like there was no tomorrow, but it paid large dividends.

Carl....I sent you a PM also. I would like to see how you come out on your search as I too need to go through this with CA. DMV. on a 1970 car. Please keep us up to date on your findings. I have printed the forms and was wondering if the $5 covers each owner or all owners. I always wondered why if you could prove ownership of an old vehicle why the NICB records are so tight lipped as if you might go after or harass an original owner of your vehicle or an original selling dealer that no longer owns the dealership. THX in advance

Has anybody ever tried Michigan? My Chevelle was sold new there. If anybody "knows" someone there that could help me, please contact me. There is some money if I get something useful.

I'm also interested in any help/tips tracing my car. I've owned it since 1990 and only know the owner from 1988-1990.
