Looking for information on the restoration of my 1968 GTS in the Ft. Meyers area, 2009 ish.

Not sure how VIN searches work down in the States but is it possible to use the VIN to find out how many owners it had from when you sold it in ~1997 to now? The fewer the owners, the less chasing you’ll have to do to find out what/how it was done over the past 23 years.
