I see many old truck for sale without titles.There must be some way to get a title.I realize this is a state by state problem,but I have also seen ads saying "many reputable companys that can secure a title.I would like to know if anyone has gotten a title from a state or a company and whats involved?
Thanks Larry

 

I secured a title for a '57 from a place in Alabama, 20 years ago. If I remember correctly, it cost me about $100 for a 30 day plate, title and other paperwork. I doubt if it's still around, but it was called Titles Unlimited. You could try a search on the web, and see what you get.

 

In 92, I bought a 37 Plymouth p/u without a title. I did get several sales receipts. I went to the courthouse with the serial number, and asked for a title. They told me to go to the TxDot office, see if they would do it. The state office gave me a piece of paper saying that wasn't enough info, so I went back to the county courthouse, and the county clerk said good enough, and issued me a title.

Kinda upset the guy who sold it to me when I drove the now legal truck into his driveway!

 

You can also check into Broadway Title.

 

Check out "branded" titles. A buddy of mine got a '69 Buick GS400 that had been left on my father-in-law's farm for 15 years. He had to put an ad in the paper stating he was looking for the original owner, and after 30 days he got a branded title. I think the gist of it was that you had to make a reasonable search for the owner; then it's yours.

 

Here in Arizona, it's called a "junk title". After thirty days, just to the local DMV.

 

You can also get a Salvage title, thats what my Cavalier has, after it was wrecked and repo'd i got a salvage title for it.

 

titles unlimited in burmingham alabama. the price is set by the year and make of the vehicle.

i have used them 4 times, and never had a problem with their title when i went to njdmv.

 

Great info, most of the time cars and trucks with out title are much cheaper and I like cheaper. THANKS AGAIN Larry

 

in illinois you get a duplicate tittle, its a long n boring process

 

In Virginia you can get what is called an "abandoned vehicle title". It is sort of a time consuming process but works well in the vehicle isnt stolen.

 

Here in ohio, to get a title you take the car and get it inspected (at the closest highway patrol post), then take that paperwork to the court house and file for a title. It's a PITA but it works.

 

took me 9 months in nj,to much running and flat bedding here and there for state police inspections plus the news paper adds . and a lawyer. if had not been a dead stock 1953 f100 in rust free shape stored in a farm barn for 45 years i would never have had gone though it
