actually over 10 years old u dont need a title as long as you have registered the car cause that proves u own it

Look - all this talk about titles is nice, but it ignores one thing - LAWS VARY FROM STATE TO STATE!!!

This is why I suggested registering it in NH, then transferring it back because you DON'T NEED A TITLE in NH if the CAR IS OVER 10 YEARS OLD. In NH, it's understood that possession is 9/10 of ownership. IF you have a bill of sale, and that car isn't required to have a title, then you can register the car. Period. You may have to have a state trooper inspect the car to verify that it is roadworthy & you may not be able to get it inspected, but they'll take your money and give you a plate. And insurance is not required to register a car here, but many towns have ordinances against keeping non-registered junk in your yard, so you'll often see plates on old rusting parts car junk boxes.

Strip it down to nothing and build another one.

So I can grab this old 67 mustang down the road from me with that HUGE gas guzzling 427 in it, get it to NH and get an apartment there I could transfer the car into my name and it would be mine. That TOTALLY Rocks!! Then I drive it back here to Washington and got a a Mustang fastback...WAY cool!

I only need a registration here in Washington to renew the tags ("get plates") for a car also.. But I need a title to make it MINE. It is also required by law to transfer the title over to the OWNER in like 30 or 60 days or so.
