<DIV>As best I know the history of my car it was in Colorado, then New Mexico
and eventually would up in California. At some point its ID was ascribed to the
JAL #, and not the B947XXXX number. I’ve decided to leave it alone. In my
case the RIVETS are TAC-ed as original (oh..., did I really say “that” word) and
the B947 number is partnered with the JAL#. Anyway, that also seems like
another way of “washing” a title with states that either are not on the ball or
indifferent to cars like the Tiger that have two identifiers. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Back in 1995 someone gave me a free Corvair station wagon. All I had
was title from Michigan that was signed and dated 21 years prior, way back in
1974. They readily accepted that and simply required I present the car (in
state) for VIN verification – nothing more. From what I see the California
DMV doesn’t have much issue with out of state cars. But in state were they are
likely more liable they are much harder. Try buying an older car on Craigslist
with “bill of sale only” and you are in for a potentially difficult, if not
impossible time. I’ve heard these title services are well worth the $150
they charge. They know all the ins and outs of the process, many are former DMV
employees themselves.</DIV>

<DIV>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</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>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.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I've heard that there is criminal activity regarding "washing" titles and I
can see that it's possible using the above. Mark L</DIV></FONT>
