[COPO]

In 2001 I was able to get a full NC ownership history on my old 69 Yenko Camaro with copies of all titles, applications for titles, and registration history. Fortunately, they even had a copy of the original VA title as the 2nd owner was from NC. That is how I found out it was sold new at Colonial Chev. Nothing was blacked out on the certified copies that I received.

NC was particularly cooperative as opposed to VA DMV. The privacy act still enables you to receive copies of this information for "research purposes" but each state seems to interpret that differently and most claim they don't have the info beyond 10 years, but often times they still have the info, but just don't want to be bothered to look for it.
