I had a thought that by maybe running an "Autocheck" as it usually shows more than "Carfax" does would give info about the year, maybe when it went to the Dealer in CA when it was first titled and even any emissions tests etc.

But by running your v.i.n through Both of them it comes up as "invalid v.i.n"
That makes no sense to me as at least lic renewals should show up???
Maybe they don't track veh's that far back?

Might wish to check that out for yourself with the copy of the Certificate of Title" you got from Hawaii.
Maybe the title doesn't match the v.i.n on the car?
Maybe someone at the DMV typed it out wrong? It happens..........often

Oh well it was an idea anyways.
