<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
