Default C3 History

I know this has been posted, but I can't find it, and I apologize for posting it again.. What is the best way to do a history search on my 77 Vette. Seems every site I visit wants a piece of my credit card. I'm not against paying, but I want to get my monies worth. Thanks

Hi k,
Do you have anything to start wit a all?
Have you checked out Auto Ancestry ?
They've been around awile, but I don't know how successful they are.
Maybe at least worth talking to them?
Regards,
Alan

I've used Auto Ancestry (Bill Gould) to hunt down previous owners of my 71' So far he has found 2 that I couldn't find in my own search. With the privacy laws, it's hard to get names plus most DMV's only keep records for 10 years.

Read this web site also.

Look here to see if a previous owner is still listed.

Maybe GM still has a copy of your invoice.

Don't waste your money. I tried to get FL and CA records for two Corvettes. No dice; privacy laws.
