Do you have the VIN? You could request a title search with the Tennessee DMV and might be able to learn where the car might have gone after you sold it. Be aware, a lot of DMVs can no longer release personal identification information due to confidentiality laws.

Have you tried the C3 Registry?

I submitted an application to DMV Nashville Tn and was denied info because I do not own the vette. When I sold the vette the buyer wanted all the paperwork with the vette so I did not keep any papers and cannot at this time get my viv# in the correct order. I would like any info available about the vette .Thanks - David E

VIN will be 1Z37*3S4xxxxx for coupes and 1Z67*3S4xxxxx for convertibles.

* will be J, T, or Z depending on the original engine installed, L-48, L-82, or LS4 in that order.

xxxxx will be the five numbers of the consecutive unit number.

Without the actual VIN, it's possible you may not be able to determine anything further.
