Congrats on the purchase, Steve.

Do you have a Carfax report on your car?

Unfortunately, most FHP stations long ago destroyed the records associated with these cars, so you may be out of luck. We have had success in getting crash reports from DSHMV, but they recently made some changes there and are only going back 7 years. Alot of the cars weren't wrecked in-service anyway, but it was a nice little way to get the tag (and unit number) for cars that had been hit.

I've suggested title searches to people in the past; the unit numbers were usually handwritten on the titles at the auctions. I haven't heard from anyone that was able to find a copy of their original title yet, though.

Good luck.
