    Searching for previous owners via VIN

    It looks as though Billy Gould may have discontinued his service of tracing vehicle history (site is down). Have any of you used someone else? I always had good luck with Billy and felt his charges were very modest.

    Thanks,
    Tim

      Billy was the best, he searched 7 cars for me, always successful and always interesting people he found for me to talk to.

        I took a shot in the dark and emailed him. He responded to me in an hour and informed me he hung it up about a year ago. Went on to say he does not have the tools at hand in order to help out.

        Mike and Michael, you are right.........he was the best!

        Still open to suggestions. I put a feeler out with another friend who deals with some rather high end cars to see if he has any suggestions. I'll share if I finds anything noteworthy.

          I used Billy a few times; I think the privacy laws have prevented much of this research now. DMV's don't want to give out prior owner info, so unless you have other means to track back through the years you're out of luck for the most part.

            Jeff is in the vintage car search business - I do not have direct experience engaging him - perhaps you can contact Jeff to determine if he is in a position to help you.
