Re: need title
Try the auto club or go to another DMV. I am in California and don't know for sure but there has got to be a way to do it legally (and buying a title is not the legal way).

Re: need title
There are several title service companies that specialize in situations such as yours, such as http://www.getnewtitle.com/.

Re: need title
You will have to most likely do a bonded title, there are numerous threads on the HAMB regarding this process, some may be for other states but the legal process is the same in almost all states. Go to HAMB search bonded title or Illinois title problems, I have personally gone through the process in Illinois, your best bet is to contact the services department of the state DMV at the state office branch or main office, use the web and phone in, ask to speak to some one in the bonded titles department. The people who do this are usually specialists in this process, many others have no clue, be patient. Read the other threads and if you still have questions post them or pm some one.

Re: need title
What state are you in? In Calif there are DMV service co's that come to your house and run the chassis # and if its clear, Presto, you can get it registered.

I have also found the MVA in Bel Air, MD to be very good people to deal with on some recent title changes and antique tag registration. Good luck!

Re: need title
I'm in Calif. also... One thing about dealing with the DMV here has been consistant... There are LOTS of people with different practices who work at DMV... AND there is NO oversight to insure consistant practice- or fees... I no longer go to my local DMV and accept advice or opinions that don't seem reasonable...
There is, however a unpublished phone number to an office in Sacramento that has provided accurate and quoteable information that I have found to be very helpful... It maybe that other states may have a simialar arrangement... Karl |

Re: need title
Please let us know how you make out. I am also in maryland and just bought a car from an estate in massachusetts. They can't find the title, but they are going to try and get a duplicate from the DMV. The car was on the road in the 70's and 80's so I have hope they will have something still.

Re: need title
I have gotten titles for 2 vehicles through an outfit in Alabama that supplies new titles that originate in Alabama. Check with them first to see if your state honors the Ala. titles. Since I got my titles, NJ no longer honors these titles. I think the name of the outfit is Broadway Titles.

Re: need title
Hi Charlie, this is not my first choice , but my DMV says the truck can not be titled because the owner died 25 years ago. The next step in restoration is glass and a rad. I hate to start dumping so much money in the truck and then have to part it out. thanks Russ

Re: need title
Umm...this is a long shot but is there a trail of who inherited the trucK. Does someone still have the papers as the executor of the estate? If so all they would have to do is signoff on the transfer and provide the executor papers. I know it is a long shot but some people never throw anything away.

Re: need title
Do not know now but you use to get a junk title in KY. All you needed were bill of sale or receipts showing you put the car together from junk.
