I think you are S.O.L. VIN numbers were standardized in 1981 with a 17 digits.

I had VIN reports on cars before but with the new privacy laws it's a no-no. I purchased a year old car and while on a trip stopped into the selling dealer with the VIN. The service guy typed it in and started showing me the info and caught himself and turned the screen away and said " I cannot show this to you". He started typing away ....probably deleting it. More privacy law stuff.

Here in NC, if you are the current owner, you can fill out a MVR-605A for a title search and send it to NCDMV with $10.00.  You have to select from a list of reasons why you are requesting it, and if they thnk its legit, they send you a packet with copies of all the forms filed since the car was sold new.  I expect a big bunch of bs or a big flat "NO!" because of the privacy stuff, but a week or so later, got my packet.  Every owner, every lien, all of it.  Dunno if CO does that.  Might be worth a try.

Thanks, will try it.

Thanks
