Hi All,
I'm trying to verify the odometer mileage on my '74 914. DMV records are nonexistent due to the old style VIN's that our cars have. Anybody have any luck tracing title transfers on these early '70 cars to verify the reported mileage at each transfer? Thx! Mark (SF Bay Area) |

Not sure if it applies in CA but in Texas every time the car was inspected for the year, the mileage is recorded. Not sure how you would access that information though. Might be an avenue to explore.

I believe you can obtain the registration history of your car through DMV I did that a few times in the past- but that was about 20 years ago. I see no reason they can't still do that.

For grins I did it for my car, which has been in the SF Bay Area all its life, and the records only went back to 2007, and the only thing the report showed was the date of registration and the cost. |

Imagine they would never be very accurate- everyone here must know how reliable that angle drive is off the transaxle!!

The only suggestion I would have is to try to speak with a DMV Investigator (yes they have their own investigators) and see if it is possible to obtain a complete history. I have done that in the past and obtained all previous owners on the car I was looking into at the time. If you talk to a DMV counter person, you will learn nothing. Check with some of the local car clubs and see if anyone has a connection with DMV to get a car-friendly investigator.
