[TR] FL DMV

[Dave]

as a previous lister mentioned, in texas you can get a bonded title.  PIA, 
btdt.  what I found also is that many don't know the rules and/or are simply 
wrong.  I had to go to a different dmv to get my bonded title.  keep trying, 
keep researching, and you should be able to do it.  don't bother with the 
old owner.  he doesnbt care and won't help you!

my son is in alabama; we considered registering a vehicle there.  after some 
research, I found that all you have to do is show up with the car, show them 
a bill of sale, and they will "register" the car.  which means give you a 
plate.  alabama does not give titles to vehicles over 25 years old so it 
probably won't help you.

Carl -

I believe there are services that 'help' one title vehicles with limited
documentation using a state that is not so fussy.  I seem to recall that
Alabama is the state of choice for some of these services.  A Google may
turn them up if no one here has direct experience.
