Yeah I know , and knew better . But the price was too good to pass up . I got a shout out to a title company locally . They might be able to help ( fingers crossed ) . Threw out a text to guy in Alabama thought I'd try that route . That was stopped dead in it's tracks as they now have a new commissioner that requires a visual if the car hasn't been registered within the last 15 years and I have no idea when it was last licensed.
