"As soon as it passes from one state to another (even in this age of computers), records of past registration/titling seem to disappear. "

Not true. When I was re-registering my car as a replica, the guy at the DMV titling office looked up the VW VIN and showed me that it started out in Ohio, then New York, then Massachusetts (where I bought it), then Rhode Island, South Carolina and back to Massachusetts. Don't know what he used to get that, but he said it was nation-wide.

Don't know if the paper trail ends when you get a new VIN (as I did) or if they tag the old VIN to the new - just never asked.
