Check with the DMV in your state. Depending upon privacy laws, you might be able to do a title search through your DMV.

Second option is to start with the owner of the car when you bought it. Check with him/her for previous owners when he/she bought the car and work your way backwards.

Indeed, what is the purpose?

Say what? I am not following your logic. PHS releases info all the time so what is the difference?

The build sheet for my 72 LT-1 was falling off the gas tank when I found it. On the subject of Chevy records, I know of a 1968 L-88 Vette that was verified from a person with "inside" GM access I think throughthe Moraine Division J-56 brake order in the late 1970's early 1980's. I think there is paperwork around for the "special Vettes" but, GM is afraid of the problems it would cause.
