have VIN, need help finding the car

[notstock71]

I have been searching for a specific 69 Nova street machine (straight axle and all) that used to run around here in Nebraska in the 70s and 80s. I have had multiple conversations with the original builder and he found the VIN for the car. He gave me the VIN to try and help find it. The VIN was supposed to be run through Nebraska DMV but there were no results. The car possibly left the state in the 80s. Does anyone have the ability to find the last registered owner even if in another state? We do not know where it went from here. I was lucky enough to receive help with this once when I found dads old Z.

Thanks in advance ofr any help.
