...for his Camaro, is there any (legal) way to use that to try and find the original owner?

Dmv?

in cal. for $10 fee

the dmv will only give you the:
name
time of title change
time of registration due

of the last ten years!!


no addy,phone numbers? nothing

save your money!!!!! its a complete waste of $10

Yeah, that's what I was afraid of. Too bad though.
