about a year ago I bought a 73 914. The plan was to strip it sell the goodies and build some kind of SCCA track car or hack it and build a dune buggy, my most current plan was to title it and put it back on the road but I have hit a dead end (note earlier I wanted to race it title wasn’t really in my plans) the car has changed hands a few times with an open title we will call first owner D1... D1 sold to D2 in North Carolina who had the car for 20 years in a barn in Florida that sold to D3 that let the car sit in a ditch and lost title who sold it to me D4... car is still in FL with a bill of sale no title and D2 doesn’t have info of D1 because the sale was 20 years ago and I’ve tried a title search. How far up shit creek am I obtaining a title and making this thing road legal... thank you in advance.

Go to the DMV and find out what your options are.

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Mar 10 2016, 01:23 PM)  Go to the DMV and find out what your options are. DMV says contact original owner, location unknown. other options I ran through my head are find solid roller, or figure out "kit car" title work |

All states are a bit different, but you should be able to bond the car and get a title. It costs a bit, but should be worth it. Colorado requires a bond that is twice the value of the car. If you have a bill of sale you should be okay. Check with your DMV to ask about a bonded title. What kind of condition is it in? Are all the VIN numbers readable and do they match?

QUOTE(914Sixer @ Mar 10 2016, 10:23 AM) Go to the DMV and find out what your options are. Solid advice. In Washington, I would pay $60 to have the State Patrol inspect the car so I could get a "temporary" 3 year title in my name. If no one claims the vehicle in those 3 years, you get it put in your name for good. Just ask what they need you to do. |
