[Tigers] Interesting Title Situation

[CoolVT at aol.com]

I recently had the occasion to swap my Tiger  registration from a  state 
that didn't require titles for older cars to Florida which does require a  
title
 
To get a title in Florida all that was required was for the car to be  
viewed and VIN verified  by Law Enforcement or DMV in the former  state.  With 
this authentication and a current registration,  Florida  was willing to 
issue me  a title and new registration.  
 
This worked good for me, but I can see all kinds of illegal  possibilities. 
 Say an older,  valuable car is flood damaged in  Florida or any other 
state.  If it is totaled FL will not register it.  Other states might allow you 
to register, but the title is stamped  "salvage".  But if you bring this car 
to a state that doesn't require  titles for older cars, you can register it 
without a title and at a later time  get a clean title in the process 
described above.
 
I've heard that there is criminal activity regarding "washing" titles and I 
 can see that it's possible using the above.   Mark  L
