Default OT: Need a title???

A friend of mine has 2 cars that don't have titles. One is a 69 firebird (he was given from a relative) and the other is a car he's been building himself for show/go. He would like to get a title for both so he can at least drive to car shows. Any help would be appreciated.

Brian, here in Illinois you can get a title, but they make you wait for about 6 months in case someone else lays claim to the vehicle. I think they also require a deposit equal to the value of the vehicle which is refunded when the title is issued. Hopefully it might be easier where you live, I suggest contacting the Dept. of motor vehicles or the Secretary of State to check on the procedure.

I Tennesse there is a process by which you run ads in the paper and send registered mail to the last known owners, then after a period of time you can get a title. In Alabama there are no titles before 1975. In Georgia you don't need a title after 20 years I believe. Call the tag office and see what is required in your state.

Your friend should check with the DOT and determine exactly what he will need to title the vehicle.

CT doesn't require a title for 25+ year old cars, just a bill of sale. Joe
