Need some help from a Ga. Police officer

No Georgia car had a title before 1963. And if you brought a pre-1963 car into Georgia with a title from out of state, you could not get a Georgia title. When my family moved to Georgia in 1967, we had a Florida title for our 62 Dodge, but could not get a Georgia title.

1963-on Georgia cars did originally have titles, but for many, many years, once a 63 or later Georgia car was twelve years old, you could transfer ownership in Georgia without transferring title. When my Dad passed away in 1984, I transferred ownership of his 67 Charger to me. I was still a Georgia resident at the time, and had to insist on getting a title, as the tag office kept telling me I didn't need one. No, but I sure wanted one. They really didn't want to do the extra work, but I did get a Georgia title, but only because I insisted.

That 12 year rule was finally changed, in the last couple of decades I believe. But the consequence of that is that most pre-1980 Georgia cars don't have titles. No reason to use a title service when bringing a Georgia car to Florida, though. All you need is a current Ga. tag receipt and a bill of sale, and then have someone come out and confirm the VIN.
