I have a question and I guess this is the best place for it on the forum. I have a 70 GTO and I am trying to obtain a title for it. The car is not stolen but it has set for many years and changed hands several times. I have learned that the last time it was on the road was sometime in the mid 80's. I do not have a previous registration nor a copy of the title(yes I know it is a big risk to buy this type of vehicle). I would like to put the car on the road when I am done with it. I am trying to deal with VA DMV and they want a previous registration number for the car before they do anything. I will do the leg work to get what I need but don't know where or how to start searching. Do I start writing different state DMV's to see in I can find where it was last registered? What can be done online to this end? I have done a VIN search online and it came up clean there. All I know there are a lot of street rods from the 30's and so forth that have been put back on the road, this can't be impossible.
