Car title ,how does it work in the states

Just wondered how the****le to a car worked in the states.Over here we have a v5 document which has the keepers name and address on it although the keeper insnt nesassarily the owner.......just wondered is all.......Mad Marq

 

It varies from state to state. It used to be less illegal to sell****les than it now is, which is why****les are generally sold as "souveniers". In many areas, the authorities are realizing that a seventy-year-pld carcass that someone dragged in from the outback and then invested a great deal of time and money rebuilding probably isn't a cause for concern.

I hope this helps you. Now***** off.

It's illegal here to sell just a****le here too,you need to have a chassis, body as well.Now if you say build a car with no****le or restore one you go on a point system ,you need 8 points to register it on an age related plate.Points would go something like this body/chassis=5 engine =5 suspension=2 axles =2 if not they may give you a Q reg or even worse put it through an svo test which an old car has no way of passing******* europe i hate it.Mind you if you do have a car thats old with an old plate you dont pay any road duty at all...........Mad Marq

 

in iowa and south dakota as far as i know you can file for a "lost"****le if you have a car that your rebuilding and it hasnt got one. you just need a good bill of sale, a bunch of paper work later and making sure you didnt steal it and you get what i think they call a bonded****le.

hey tman, if your readin how did you go about****ling the rocky 33?? im prolly gona end up going threw all that in not to long and seeing as your in the state next door i thought id ask how you got it done

In this state (Washinton) it is a felony to change the numbers on a car to use a different****le.

Though I haven't actually gone through the process it appears you can get a****le for a car without one by going through an inspection and paperwork process, and then waiting two or three years for someone else to claim it really belongs to them.

Or at least that is what a friend did to****le an old pickup five years ago.
