Hi Gurus!
I live in Maryland. A few weeks ago Jeff Muleken(sp?) posted his experience with getting the car registered. After the MD police safety inspection he than had to go to a MD licensed inspection station.
There is an inspection station close to my home - the owner has a 33 ford hot rod - not a FFR. I talked to him about the inspection and what I would need to do for MD.
He told me that I could go to a company like this http://www.getcartitle.com/ and get a title from a wrecked car from 1965 - they search and confirm it is clean. with the title they also supply a vin #.
As it will be a 1965 car - now emissions, etc.
Then you only have to get your tags.
Sounds to good to be true! Does anyone know anything about these types of companies?
Thanks!

PJ,
No, do not do it as it is a FEDERAL OFFENSE to do so. Believe me, those of us who have been doing this for a long time have seen it all, including at least two instances where the car was impounded and fines levied (and a costly legal battle to get the car back).......Do not do it, you got really bad advice from someone who is truly clueless as to the current way of getting your car titled......

Sure, should be easy to find a title for a wrecked '65 Sh*lby C*bra...
What Bill said - don't do it.

Do a search on a company, titles unlimited and you'll shall see. Follow your state rules.

I notice on their site, that this is what they list as required from you.. It would seem that you must first have a VIN#. Might sound easier then it really is..
Documentation we may require, but not limited to:
Photo of the vehicle
Photo of the VIN or HIN tag
Photos of State Inspection sticker or copy of State Inspection report
VIN Verification
Notarized Bill of Sale
Original notarized Vehicle Power of Attorney Authorization (form provided)
Copy of your Driver’s License
Proof of Insurance
Completed ASE Inspection (for vehicle years 1947 to 1985 if roadworthy).

Yup,any one of which if fraudulently obtained is worth time in a Federal prison with your new cell mate "bubba" .

I am also in MD, It wasn't so long ago that I registered my car. The process really wasn't that difficult. What made it hard was error on my part, (going to MVA and forgetting paperwork). I have found a
company that provided the insurance then did the inspection at another company. Then got an exception for the emission. I have a terrible memory but I can look up the information if you need it.
