Your best chance would be over at Camaro Research Group. Some of the guys visit here as well but their forum is http://www.camaros.org/forum/ to reach out.

Maybe we should have a sticky for this? Some ideas for content below:

State DMV websites with VIN Search

Ohio BMV

Florida DMV

...

Gov' Websites

NMVTIS Vehicle History Report (fee $)

NCIB - Stolen and Salvaged Vehicles

I ran an NMVTIS and there is no record of that VIN

what is a NMVTIS report and what does this mean
that there is there is no record of that VIN? Does it mean
the car is gone/not registered?

Many state bureaus will purge the VIN database after x amount of years of inactivity on a number. I just checked mine on the Ohio site and it doesn't come up. I haven't licensed the car since 1993. If the car you are searching for is similar than it may still exist but just not appear in a search.
There are private detectives that can supposedly do more extensive searches. Not sure what resources they have. I've heard there is much more privacy now since a girl was stalked and killed in California from her license plates.

I believe it was the murder of actress Rebecca Schaeffer in 1989:
