Well the Vin would be in the police data base as a stolen car already. If there was a way to track it down cops would have a computer program that would do it. If anyone tried to register that vin or try to get a title for it in the USA it would be flagged as stolen. Either the car was re-vined or sent over seas/south America or is was cut up in parts within 48 hours of being stolen.
Sometime after a person buys a car and they check it out and check the "hidden" Vin numbers and they don't match the windshield vin they will call the police, This very rare because if the person already bought the car they could lose the car with no refund. The only cases I have heard about is if the car is for some reason checked out by the cops or if the owner bought title insurance like through Ebay.
Camaros in 1995 where not super valuable like they are now here in the states, they where worth a lot more over seas and many countries will retitle a car with a bill of sale.
The other possibility is it was used as a race car, all the ID marks would be removed and no title is needed.
Just a FYI finding a car that is legally sold in 1995 is near impossible these days. With the new privacy laws your old car could be sitting 300 yards from you house in a garage and you will be able to find it. Some private detectives have access to help find cars. Papa John had to offer $250,000 finders fee to track down the Camaro he sold in the 80's and still took over a year to find it.
Recoveries are so rare they tend to make the news when they happen.
