Getting a title with a bull of sale

[Deco 1927]

I purchased my Model T from a guy who found it in a barn. The car is from California and last register in 1976. I live in Oregon and have the bill of sale. Does anyone know how to go about getting the title?

Talk to your licensing agency, they should be able to tell you all of the hoops that you'll need to jump through. If not talk to you state police.

Not Oregon, but Had a heck of time registering a vehicle here in Florida with an old 1955 registration and bill of sale. No title from Illinois. Numbers were clear on the frame and were verified several times by Sheriff and DMV folks. Ended up using a title company to cut thru the red tape. Best $250 I ever spent.

Good advice. I will try and find a title company in my area.

250. for a title co is an absolute bargain- how long ago was that?

Looking for a title co, right off? Your first step should be getting in contact with your states DMV on line. There should be a Q & A section on titling a car without letting any info go on your side. You just might keep $250 in your pocket.

every state has their own titling procedure, what works in WA might not work in SD or FL. The only way to get through this is to deal with your own state DMV. Any other advice is just hopeful guesswork.

Not all DMV offices are the same - and not all the people in DMV offices are the same - so be careful.
You may need to find someone that truly knows what to do and is willing to help.

The town clerk on NH can handle most of the registration and title issues. We are lucky that our town clerk is responsive and cares about her neighbors. There are many horror stories about DMV people that don't care or don't know. Small town DMV's tend to be better than those in big cities.
