Result from add123 on my '77 300D. Those are probably correct title transfers, based on the oral history of the car: 1997 for the fellow's estate to his daughter, and then 2009 for me. Don't know if the original registration didn't make it or was in a non-reporting state.
"Unknown" must correspond to 'Odometer reading incorrect' on the title. The original odo was replaced at some point so I still don't know the actual mileage even +/- 100k, I was kind of hoping this would give me a clue. -Tim MULTI-STATE VEHICLE HISTORY REPORT VIN 12313012055480 YEAR 1977 MAKE MERZ This data was originally accessed on 2010-04-15 08:07:17.451 EDT at which time it was current with the National Motor Vehicle Title Information System (NMVTIS) [image: BRAND INFORMATION] A "Brand" defines the status of a vehicle, such as Theft, Flood, Salvage or Rebuilt.

NMVTIS is intended to serve as a reliable source of title and brand <http://www.vehiclehistory.gov/nmvtis_glossary.html> history for automobiles, but it does not contain detailed information regarding a vehicle's repair history. - All states, insurance companies, and junk and salvage yards are required by federal law to regularly report information to NMVTIS. However, NMVTIS does not contain information on all motor vehicles in the United States because some states<http://www.vehiclehistory.gov/nmvtis_states.html>are not yet providing their vehicle data to the system. Currently, the data provided to NMVTIS by states is provided in a variety of time frames; while some states report and update NMVTIS data in "real-time" (as title transactions occur), other states send updates less frequently, such as once every 24 hours or within a period of days. - Information on previous, significant vehicle damage may not be included in the system if the vehicle was never determined by an insurance company (or other appropriate entity) to be a "total loss" or branded by a state titling agency. Conversely, an insurance carrier may be required to report a "total loss" even if the vehicle's titling-state has not determined the vehicle to be "salvage" or "junk." - Before making a decision to purchase a vehicle, consumers may wish to obtain an independent vehicle inspection, a NMVTIS Vehicle History Report, and consult other available vehicle information resources. - The information in NMVTIS *INCLUDES*: - Information from participating<http://www.vehiclehistory.gov/nmvtis_states.html>state motor vehicle titling agencies. - Information on automobiles, buses, trucks, motorcycles, recreational vehicles, motor homes, and tractors. NMVTIS may not currently include commercial vehicles if those vehicles are not included in a state's primary database for title records (in some states, those vehicles are managed by a separate state agency), although these records may be added at a later time. - Information on "brands" applied to vehicles provided by participating state motor vehicle titling agencies. Brand types and definitions vary by state, but may provide useful information about the condition or prior use of the vehicle. - Most recent odometer reading in the state's title record. - Information from insurance companies, and auto recyclers, including junk and salvage yards, that is required by law to be reported to the system, beginning March 31, 2009. This information will include if the vehicle was determined to be a "total loss" by an insurance carrier. - Information from junk and salvage yards receiving a "cash for clunker" vehicle traded-in under the Consumer Assistance to Recycle and Save Act of 2009 (CARS) Program. - Consumers are advised to visit www.vehiclehistory.gov for details on how to interpret the information in the system and understand the meaning of various labels applied to vehicles by the participating state motor vehicle titling agencies.
