Car titles

I cruise Craigslist checking out "Classic cars" if you want to call them that. Some of the Best prices for lack of a better word come without a title. I have heard of people going out of state for titles when they buy a car with a missing title, but I feel it isn't worth the hassle. However, say it is a 1958 Biscayne, a rolling body that you want to maybe put back together, its been sitting for years, and grandpa lost the title, I can see going for a retitle to save the car. Chances are that it did "fall off the books" being that old. What I like about old cars is that they are anti- establishment, and counter culture. All the "Normal" people are driving new cars that they cant afford, Most idiots these days don't appreciate old cars, I am all for gracing the highways with the presence of an old car, just cause it rubs some people the wrong way. :)
