Doug Hughes of Conneciticut (sp) is a dead beat. He Won the auction on my '74 914 and has backed out because he does not understand that 1974 cars do not have titles in Alabama, just registration. WARNING WARNING!!!!! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Kentucky requires vehicles to have titles. No matter what year. If you don't have a title, you can sign an affidavit stating that you didn't steal the car and they'll issue you a "salvage" title. Some states call it a rebuilders title, rebuilt title, etc...

In addition to needing a title, out of state cars being transferred into state must be fully functional, roadworthy vehicles in order to transfer the title.

RantOn:
I bought a '67 Beetle over a year ago that came from Tenn. I've gone round-and-round with the sheriff’s office. They won't inspect the car unless I make it a running driving car. You can't transfer a title unless a sheriff has inspected the vehicle. You've got to jump through allot of hoops to please these folks. In KY, there is a loop hole that states if the car is at least 25 years old, then it can be brought in as a 'collector car' and a title-only (no plates) transfer is done. The car still gets inspected but it doesn't happen until you go to register for plates (after you've restored it). Unfortunately, the individual at the courthouse has never heard of this. The crusty geezer still thinks I'm trying to do something illegal. I think he just doesn't like furrin cars. I bought a rusty old GMC truck from Ohio a few months ago and he had no problems with it. It's less safe than the Beetle was. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
