Mike, what can I do with the other title number?

That is what I did with my '86 FHP, found the owner who bought it at auction.

Utah does not mention anything about a cutoff on the years going back, it's worth a shot either way.

Also, I pulled the bottom back seat out and lifted the carpet this afternoon, and the little plastic "pouch" that I assume held the build sheet was empty. Oh well...

No pouches that I have ever seen. Have you checked behind the rear trim panels? (the ones on either side of the rear seat, with the built-in armrests) I have found 3 in cars, taped up on either side (driver or passenger, inside the trim).

Here is one from the buildsheet section on the site, still taped in place when I found it.

I did not check there, but I sure will I'll take a pic of what I'm talking about probably not tomorrow or Thursday because I'm busy those two nights, but I should have something on Friday. It's not a "pouch" pouch, but more of a plastic baggie type thing. It looks like it would hold some such item.

Like Matt suggested, you can try a title search. It depends on Utah's laws/policies for record storage/release of info, but you may be able to find the person who originally bought your car at auction, for research purposes, using that title number. Some states keep copies of the original titles on microfiche, and you also may be able to find the title number (or a copy) of the original title from UHP using that second title number.

EDIT. Brian beat me to it.
