title

[stang00vert]

dont know if i can post this here, but i been searching this whole website on how to get a title for a 71 torino 500?

i originally bought the car in connetciut, and the guy didnt have the title(he wrote down on a paper with our names a vin#, sort of like a bill of sale)

he said that he bought from a friend, who got it from a old man, and since im already done with the interior, and about to work in the chassis i would like to start getting the title so i can ride this bad boy around NY

I'm sure the registration is the title for the car. As long as you got that and a bill of sale is all you need to get it on the road.

Straight from NYS DMV:

Cars, Trucks and Motorcycles - model year 1972 or older

The acceptable proof of ownership is a NYS transferable registration or the acceptable proof of ownership for that vehicle issued by another state.

NYS does not issue title certificates for 1972 and older vehicles. NYS DMV normally issues a transferable registration for proof of ownership for a 1972 or older motor vehicle. The owner can use the transferable registration to transfer ownership to another person. If the proof of ownership is a NYS registration document, make sure the registration document is marked "transferable" on the front. The person whose name appears on the proof of ownership must sign the transfer section of the proof of ownership.

Different states issue different documents for ownership and transfer of older vehicles. To make sure that an out-of-state document is the acceptable proof of ownership, contact the DMV in the state that issued the document.

And from Connecticut DMV:

I have purchased an older vehicle in Connecticut, but the seller does not have a title. He says that the vehicle does not require a title. How do I register the vehicle?
The State of Connecticut no longer requires title certificates for vehicles manufactured prior to 1981. In order for you to register the vehicle, you must have a Supplemental Assignment of Ownership (form Q-1) and a copy of the last registration certificate. You must show continuity of ownership from the last registered owner to you.

thanks alot for the help guys, buti think i might have a problem because the last time it was on the road was may 1988, and i think the old man died since i believe he was the last to register it

Then you will need to have the executor of his estate take care of the paper work.

Hi,
I've encountered this a bunch of times and each time it is an absolute joy dealing with the DMV....... (OR NOT)LOL. That said I would call the DMV In Albany and ask what you should do.Because of the age of the car I would call the special/classic plate branch ,I say this because each time I have they have actually been pretty decent to me. I went through this with a 66 Mustang from connecticut last year it too had a deceased owner and was off the road since 1988. There is an easier way, Do you have any friends or family in the state of Maine?

 

[stang00vert]

nah, right now im wishing i did have family from maine, since you are saying its a easier way, i just dont want no problem with dmv cuz the one in yonkers is the worst of all dmv's, i dont want all this work to go to waste, cuz this torino is lookin bad ass since the 351c has 40,000 miles fuel injected cars wont kno wat hit them

I'm from Yonkers,I got thrown out of yonkers dmv many times. Trust me your best bet is to call Albany then. There is a form that you can use where you have to do an etching of your Vin. I forget which one it is right now though. Good luck

 

[stang00vert]

lol i thought i was the only that gets fustrated when i go to that dmv, i was wondering if you happen to have the number, if not i shall search for it thru google

When I lost the paper work for my mustang , I used - http://www.broadwaytitle.com/


Worked great and was simple just as long as the VIN does not show up as stolen

good luck

I also used Broadway title to get a replacement title for my 69 Coupe, & as stated above it was easy.

I have registered a car with no registration but a death certificate from the deceaseds executor. I am working with a guy in Virginia to get a registration for my 65 Mustang. If you buy a title you can get a VIN plate made from Marti Cars. You will have to do a little bodywork and re-stamp the VIN in the fenderwell, but I doubt DMV is smart enough to check that.

When you say re-stamp the VIN # do you mean change the VIN#?, if so that is a federal offense. That will get you time in jail if you are caught.
