Default Re: Title change

I agree that life is to short and we should all enjoy our great cars. BUT!

At some point we become a seller or buyer. If you don’t have the correct paperwork, your buyer could walk and you have a no sale. Or you could walk from a car you really would like to buy.

The path of least resistance is the way a lot of our cars have had there paperwork maintained over the years. Change an engine, no problem, I’ve got one in the barn. Numbers don’t match, no problem, I’ll just grind down the block and re-stamp.

The lack of federal guide lines prior to 1954 also don’t help the antique hobby.

If we really do own the car but it has some issues as far as paperwork goes. Getting it taken care of is really not a big thing. It might cost you some money, but once done the car is no different than a 2019, buy, sell, or trade. Your ready.

100 million cars are registered in the USA. There are multiple problems out there every day at every DMV in every state. Engines are changed all the time. Just watch Velocity Channel or the auto auctions on TV.

Remember the cable guy saying, “get er done”? Enjoy.
