I’m from Pa (central Pa). I have a car that kinda doesn’t have a title. There is a registration “title” from MN, but from 1964, the car is from 1955 tho…it’s a project so not too much concerned but when I do start working on it, I would like a legit Pa title.

@@zracer1099take your registration title for your project vehicle, to your local DMV. They will tell you what course of action that you will need to take. Also make sure you have that title transferred Into your name before starting said project. Rather then waiting till after the project is finished. Otherwise you could potentially be out a lot of time and money, if for some reason your state decides not to issue you said title. Or just aquire the necessary paperwork from the DMV, for a state issued vin number. Like you would do when building when building a mail order ( kit car ) street rod or custom bike, or building a home made trailer, lost or salvage title etc. In Wisconsin this paperwork is all on the same form from the DMV, and it's just a matter of checking the appropriate boxes, and turning it in. Your states DMV probably has and/or uses a similar form.

You created way too many problems and hassle with this process because you don't know the definitions of the words being used here. 1. Never register your automobile with the state, you only register a motor vehicle if your in COMMERCE. 2. Registration is transferring ownership to the state. 3. Certificate means COPY, you have a copy, not an original title. 4. Bill of sale is the real title and proof of ownership that's why the DMV wants your bill of sale. 5. The state cannot convert your rights into privileges. 6. You can go to your county court and sue Jane or John doe for a title and get it the same day just pay the court the fees for the process. That's all you have to do to get a "certificate of title" for the state. With a certificate of title that means the state owns it and you have a usufruct privilege of using it. 7. Screw all the fuggery of complying with tyrants, all you need is to write up a bill of sale and get it notarized, then tell the state you're selling the vehicle overseas and you need the MCO(manufacturer certificate of origin). Now you're in possession of all the proper documents proving you have ownership of said automobile. Just in this 1 step. Bill of sale and MCO is all you'll ever need, if you have the balls to stand up for yourself and your personal private property.

I bought a car without a title in Oklahoma two years ago. I found a title attorney that got me a court-ordered title within two weeks for $250, $100 court fee and $150 for the attorney. I never had to go to court the attorney took care of everything for me. He contacted the previous registered owner, judge granted a title for the car. Title was mailed out with my name on it and I only had to bring the title to the tag agency to get a tag for the car.

Find out what state the vehicle was sold in when it was new. Request the MCO from that state. If they don’t have it, find a mechanic to right you a salvage title. If the state does send you the MCO, you now truly own the vehicle. No need for license plate or registration, as long as you don’t use the vehicle for business or for profit.

My late Dad had given a car to my nephew to drive back and forth to college. When he died I became executor of his Will. We could not find the title among Dad's things. My brother (nephew's father) and I went to the DMV and tried to take care of this. Showed them Dad's death certificate, copy of the will showing I was Executor. No, they said Dad should have signed it over, which he can't, being dead and all. We went round and round with the DMV lady. Finally I just turned to my brother and said "OK, we'll just leave it out front in the parking lot with the keys in it. They'll tow it eventually and send notification to Dad's address and we wipe our hands of the whole thing." We got up and started walking out. They ran after us and suddenly had a way to do the transfer.

I'm in Cali so my rules are a little different. But I've bought numerous vehicles with no papers before from a lien sale. When you file for it at DMV they send out notices to all previous owners on file. If nobody claims it in 45 days(or so) they send you the title. Easy peasy if it's pre-smog and was originally a CA vehicle. Otherwise it could be a long, costly, ongoing nightmare.

Also i look the other way and pass on it if its not a vintage vehicle that looks to be abandoned for a while. Because the circumstances are usually shady, and it's fact that the PO is too lazy a pos to file the paperwork themselves. Each time it changes hands w/o proper docs, it gets worse and worse. More difficult. And here in CA there's almost certainly a smog problem.
