Thanks for that Joe. Doesn't appear to have anything on there that would make it worth the time to pursue. I don't even see an owners name on there that would be any concern for the DMV, so I guess they just don't want to mess with it. Kind of odd they are saving it for the original owner. After 47 years I don't think he's coming for it LOL.

The privacy laws that were passed, were federal. Then each state decided how they were going to inturpit and follow the law. And states added there own laws to close loopholes or liabilities that the federal law did not address. So they either changed some laws or the person doesn't want to do or know their job.

I'm hoping it's the first scenario and the laws are just keeping this from happening, because if it's the second scenario I'm SOL and that's disappointing knowing something could be done in that instance. Libby is the only person I've even been able to have contact with after weeks of trying snail mail, phone calls and emails. She is the only one that bothered to respond. So I feel my chances of getting someone else are about as good as winning the lottery.

MSO can be an important document for verifying original engine size. Value difference between a 350 Chevelle and a 454 is quite a bit for say a 1970 model before the days that the VIN was able to identify engine size. In the absence of other documents, the MSO can be valuable.

I was never one to get googly eyed over paper work. So much of that stuff is faked now I quit putting a bunch of stock in it.

It's a big reason why I stick to buying cars that can be verified with vin and data plate, and both of those are pretty easy to spot if they've been tampered with.

It's why I'm not too worried with the chevelle as the engine is in the vin, or my Z that is an X33. My Formula designation is in the vin and the super cobra jet is the same way along with the gear code on the data plate that verifies super status. What's nice about the Pontiacs and the Fords is that Marti Reports and PHS's are available to tell you exactly what they are. But Chevrolets I'm a little more careful about what I buy. The Z for instance, if it were a Van Nuys car, or a real early Norwood without the X code I would of passed on it.

Not that I wouldn't mind having the MSO on the Chevelle, I most certainly would. But at this point I'm not so sure it's going to happen.

I just wanted to update this since some new information came to light.

I sent in for that paperwork way back at the beginning of July 2019. Out of the blue (pun intended) my phone rings. It's a lady on the other end stating she's with the North Carolina DMV. I actually didn't think much of it at first and was wondering why they were calling me.

She informed me she is in the process of pulling paperwork, with a couple more documents to find and then she was going to send it all to me. She even said she still had my check that they had not cashed yet, lol. She apologized for the delay.

I was shocked after being told by another lady at the NCDMV that they don't do this anymore and she wasn't very forthcoming about any details. I don't think she would have given me the time of day if I had asked for it.

So about 3 weeks later an envelope shows up full of papers. Basically what she sent are copies of titles and transfers from previous owners. Names and addresses are legible with dates and that's about it.
The only data I can verify with this stuff is that I at least know the mileage is real. The last time it changed hands in 83 before I acquired the car in 87 was the first time the mileage was actually documented on the title with a little over 40k miles. Other than that there isn't much information on the paperwork, but thought I'd let others know that North Carolina is still offering this.

Amazing how one state will give you that info, and others (that have it) will not release any (what they consider) private names, addresses, etc, and make such a big deal out of it.

Yeah, I was actually shocked I got anything at all and even more surprised the names and addresses weren't blotted out.

Does South Carolina do it too? I NCRS says that my Chevelle was delivered new to Central Chevrolet Company Inc. in Columbia South Carolina.
