I have my first Corvette, a 1969 Convertible, and am very frustrated at my inability to trace the title on this vehicle.  All I am trying to do is document my car's history.  I do know that it came from Arkansas.  According to the Arkansas DMV only certain gov't. agencies can get this info.  Help - any ideas out there?   

All of the privacy legislation that has been passed over the years has made it really hard to get "public" information.  It all has its pros and cons - the inability to document a car's history is one of the cons.

 try going to your local dmv enforcement office, talk to a dmv investigator, he MAY be able to help you trace it.good luck,rd

Try a private investigator, they have ways of finding all kinds of stuff.

I have tried to do the same with my 70. I had to stop because i am to busy. Let me know. Mabey the investagater is a good aproach. They can crawl up asses we could never get into.

thanks to all - I am friends with a retired cop - I'll talk to him first

An insurance investigator can gather the same information for you too. If you tell your agent that you are trying to locate the cars history in order to establish it's true value he or she has the ability to provide this service. If it is perceived to be to your advantages they may be willing to do this as well.

 Try Carfax.com (it cost you a little) and after you sign up, enter you VIN#

Carfax might not accept the older shorter VIN. Carfax only can access so far back and the older cars won't have records available to them.
