Is there a way to trace all the registered owners of a car using the VIN?

If you're up to a lot of good old-fashioned detective work, starting with the previous owner and working your way back from there, yes. some state DMV's may be helpful, most will not. There's no place/site I'm aware of where you can plug in the VIN and get any previous owner information.

We (CRG) maintain a private database that has basic configuration history on several thousand 1st-gen Camaros, and your car may or may not be in the database; post your VIN and cowl tag data and Kurt can check for you.

Thanks John---Here is the information from my car

VIN   124379N698072
                                  Cowl Tag
ST69        12437        NOR148016 BDY
TR   711                        71  71
     10A                        X77D80
I found the partial VIN behind the blower motor but I was unable to find it by the oil filter.  Were all blocks stamped?
The front of my block is stamped   V1003DZ

The car was on ebay back Feb 2008 in TX. Showed up again Sept 08, but with a BIN of $15K.  Nothing before that.
I have a not so great pic of the pad, but it looks reasonable.
Is the trans original?

Yeah, by me manually recording the seller, location, VIN, all the tag info, drivetrain codes, options, etc.

Thanks Kurt.  Sounds like a lot of work.  Do your recrord show if it sold and any record of the seller or buyer?

Thanks again for all you hard work.  This is a really cool site
