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

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Ron is right, I just got back a title search from Maryland, they actually give you too much info! They also relayed to me that there were two more titled owners on this particular car, but since I only paid for one - they only sent one. I just go to the individual state's DMV page, look for title info section, and download the proper form through Adobe Acrobat. I have found that mailing a personal check vs. a US postal money order provides better results.

Hey, twice in less that a week that somebody said that! LOL

The last time was after another officer thought that he knew the traffic laws better than I. (yeah right) The Sgt. said "No, I think Ron's right" and I even showed them the statute to prove my point.

Now if I could get the judge to say those 3 words more often. LOL And yes you're right Marlin

Anybody from the Scottsdale Az, area or should I start a new thread with that as Subject?? will try this first, if you live down there and can photo copy the white pages and the surrounding areas I would be way grateful. I have a name of a fella from the area it may have been the orig owner of the car not sure, His name and add did not work when i called info, but she said there was that Last name in the area but was unlisted, pm me for the name. Oh called info after being online for two hours and hit the the guy in San-Diego on the first try, talked two his wife, and she confirmed they did own the car, but have not talked at him yet, will post up when i know more.

Marlin, how far back did Maryland go in your title search? Also, has anyone had any luck with Pennsylvania?

[YENKO DEUCE REGISTRY]

Denis;
I have seen MD searches go back to '69 and '70, my particular search went back to '76 - not sure what years the other two owners fall into.

PA will go back 10 years, unless you catch someone on a good day and they go into the microfiche for you. If so, I have several searches going back to '67-'70. The PA titles have 'brands' as well, very useful when the brand says that the car was sold 'out of state' or 'out of country', 'wrecked' 'flood' or 'stolen'. The best part is that the cost is only $5!

Within the last 2 years, I was able to trace my Yenko Camaro back to '69 through NY, NC and VA doing exactly what Marlin described in his earlier post. Found out my car came from Colonial Chev. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggthumpup.gif[/img]

Ron, My Chevelle was sold brand new at Orville Nerhus Chevrolet in Lakefield MN per the buildsheet. I have been successful in tracking my car to 1976 thru Illinois, Nebraska, South Dakota, and Minnesota. I only got the MN title thru the South Datota search. Do you know of a way to get a Minnesota search done? I think when I called that the person told me that they only go back like 10 years. My car was in MN from new till 1989. Any help would be appreciated. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif[/img]

Budnate....I hope you aren't serious about having someone in Scottsdale photocopy white pages for you !!! I meant an internet white page search.

[budnate]

Actually I was, I assume by your response this a big no,no?.
It seemed like a ok idea at the time?. I spose i can get the info from the local library?.
I tied to search online, I have attbi. for a connection up here and tried a internet search, like "white pages Scottsdale Az" and it did'nt work so well, one Co. wanted 10 bucks for info I think I allready have, I called the phone Co. and they said the name did not match the add i have, and the guys name did not come up in the area, but there was another person with the same last name in the area but was unlisted.
I need to relax until i talk with the fella in Cal, his wife was very nice, might be some hope of recovering my a/c and alt parts.

Go to my link: www.dps.state.mn.us
Then find the Driver & Vehicle Services link on the left column.(click on that)
Then find the Vehicle Information link on the left column(click on that)
Then find the Record Information link on the left column(click on that)
Finally, find "Record Request and Explanation of Intended Use" that is highlighted blue and you can click on that link. You can then print out the form.

I just stopped at the local license bureau and this is the same form they gave me. I'm gonna try to trace my 1963 Nova Convertible back through the owners and I believe the car never left Minnesota. I'll see what I can find out and let others know. It sounds like it only costs $4.50 so it would be money well spent.

It also looks like it may be possible to trace a MN record if you know the person's FULL name and Date of birth. Perhaps those of you who own a car once registered in MN could use the form to find out information on your car. I don't know for sure so maybe email a question to somebody at the web site I listed. Hope this helps you all.

Contact me by PM if you have questions, otherwise, this is getting long.
