Legally Register Any Car

If a car is NOT stolen, it is a CAR. A hunk of materials iron, rubber, plastic. A CAR.
Since it is a crime to mess with a vin, that should be present, otherwise it is a pile of parts.

Missouri, for example, does titles with a bill of sale, no notary required. But it does have to be inspected by a state inspector and all that does is write down the vin and mileage.

Why do some states insist on title work for old cars to be so hard????? Dunno!

Like said, every state is different.
