It's very difficult to get any information like that. Used to be somewhat easier, but due to privacy laws the states aren't allowed to divulge information on title and registration history to civilians now I don't think. I tried to trace the history of my T/A Challenger in the late 90s and at the time, my state, Illinois, for small fee, would send you copies of the title history of your car. I found they didn't keep records for any car where the title hadn't been changed in 7 years, and I'd had my car close to 20 years at the time. So no luck for me! I got my original sales paperwork on the car since it was sold by Mr Norms dealership and those records still exist and can be purchased. I tried to trace the original owner, and found an address near my town, but appeared I just missed him. Phone had been disconnected and a letter with a SASE to his address never came back.
Only law enforcement can get title and registration records like that now, like the FBI and the police. If you know someone in US law enforcement, they may be able to help you. However, they are risking getting in trouble for doing something like that for non-official use, so don't count on that either.
Your best bet is Barry Washington of the Hamtramck registry. He tries to document information on as many cars as he can and is very helpful-
http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/Galen Govier keeps a registry, but he is hard to contact, charges for his time, and usually considers his time too valuable for anyone but his wealthy clients and talking about cars that didn't originally come with hemis or wings.
