A bit of info from the state of Washington. When we moved here I did not have to go see dmv to get them transferred up here. No point in anybody arguing over this.....every state has its own goofy laws. As pointed out the Feds have there own opinion on it all.....
Exactly. Every state is different. Georgia will not give a title on a old car if you don't have one.
If the title gets lost in the sale over the years you won't ever get one.
No way, no how.
I just bought a 67 with only a bill of sale. I had to get a cop to do a vin verification. Now it is registered.
Old cars are only registered in Georiga. When I moved to Washington state, they gave me Washington titles on my cars.
Made me get them and paid for them.
Right now I've got a 74 Georgia title on a 69 car.
I've got the bill of sale from the person who I bought the car from who it was been signed over to on the back of the 74 title.
Should I even worry about getting the title transfered to my name in Georiga??
To me the title is more valuable as it is,not in my name, because it shows the history of a matching numbers survior.
This is debating the wind.
What is moral is another issue.
My **** house lawyer tells me that intent to defraud probably has to be in the equation somewhere for it to be illegal.
This come subject up all the time.
I'll paste with a links to other threads here.

As time goes by............

Ebay strikes again.
SGBARRACUDA puts an interesting twist on the process.
The “body” did go somewhere.
Probably to the crusher.
Well, since you asked for thoughts, I’m going to paste something I wrote from a similar thread.
Honest is one thing.
“Salvation” is another.

Clones and “fakes”.
Seems to me it’s all in one’s perspective.
Perhaps a person more concerned that his Hemi whatever will be worth less because there are “more” of them? Or is it preferable to have more “Max Wedge” cars at the drive in instead of SS Chevelles?
(Remember the kid in the parking lot?)
It almost like people are trying to keep the bloodlines pure.
For who? For generations yet un-born?
GG says it is only “original” once.
And by my logic no matter how much one spends to “restore” a basket case, Chrysler didn’t build it.
Someone else did.
Follow this:
(Years ago I actually saw something very close to the following statement about metal in one of the Mopar publications. It was about a rare E Body Cuda that was “saved”.
Right then I knew……….)
Someone cuts up a perfectly good Satellite and grafts that metal onto a Road Runner carcass. The only thing that is saved from the Road Runner is the cowl, radiator support, trunk and roof.
I think that gets about all the body VIN numbers?
All the other metal came from the poor “donor” car.
This is call restoration and it is acceptable.
Yet we now have a whole body that Chrysler DID NOT put together.
But if someone takes the documentation from a hopeless Road Runner and puts that documentation on a nice Satellite body, we now have car with a body that Chrysler actually DID put together.
This is viewed as wrong by many “authorities”. It is a “re-numbered body”.
Which car would you want?
For better or worse, that is the way it is.
