Hello all,
First off..I already know The old saying Buyer beware...and I broke that rule.
I purchased an abandoned vehicle that was sold to another party without title...I in turn bought that car also without title.
Please dont remind me that that was a foolish course of action. Im quite aware.
The fact is I am now in possesion of a 1964.5 Mustang (coupe) with no title, and two bills of sale.
The question is...Can I register this vehicle..can I get a new title for it?
Ive done some research, and a vin check...I dont see any stolen records, or any liens...just that the vehicle was last registered in Washington DC in 2001...I have the original owners address..but thats it.
I have been told on a few occasions that State Title enactment laws vary on the age of a vehicle requireing title. Most states need a title for anything younger then 30 years. With a bill of sale and insurance...I can apply for a certificate of registration...the DMV will do a check to see if the car is stolen...and if there are any liens...if all is clear, I should be able to get the car registered in my name.
Does anyone know if this is the case? Or am I just a victim of being an idiot?
Any information would be helpful..besides the obvious..title="Smile" smilieid="104" />
Thanks
