WANTED 65 Chrysler 300 4dr hardtop: need a piece of paper & matching tag

[500cubes]

It sad but it happens... Ive tried all the right channels with no help from the DMV. Figure if there is ANYONE who has a parts car with no need of the paperwork this is the place to locate it. I have a REALLY nice car here that needs it. She will be parted out if I dont find it. So this is my last resort, I hate to ask, but this car is worth it. I hope Im not breaking any rules by asking.

Have you tried applying for a title in a different state than your own?

In Wisconsin you can title a car with just a bill of sale if it came from a non-titling state and is old enough to have been around during that time frame.

Back in the old days I swapped a few VINs to get a vehicle or two on the road - I recall a '61 Windsor and a '65 New Yorker - if done right - no one will ever know, and never did know.

You can disregard this. I found the car a home in Kentucky. The man plans to use it for parts. Thanks for all your help. I didnt want to do anything illegal just didnt want to see it used for parts if at all possible. We do what we can to keep them on the road but sometimes there is simply no way.

For all who read this and have your own title related brick-wall story....ask a judge. It's not that complex. First, do a DMV title search to prove it isn't stolen or subject to liens. Most searches on older vehicles come back "no record found." Then petition the court to order the DMV to issue you a title. Attach any paperwork to explain how the vehicle came into your possession, as well as the DMV title search, and that's it. Take the judge's order to your title service/notary and get a new and perfectly legal title. And yes, I am qualified to give legal advice.

Well.. that may work in your own state (I'm guessing PA) but dealing with other states that do not issue titles on old cars (like here in NYS) and the friendly government employees at the state run DMV... I think a "your mileage may vary" disclaimer might be in order.

I have bought and drove home cars in Pennsylvania where you can go to the little shop on the corner and register your new car with temporary tags based on you having insurance on another car... and pickup some live bait while you're at it. Try registering an old car from out of state here in NYS and you'll understand frustration... even when your ducks are in a row.

All the judges I've ever met around here would say "get your paperwork in order and don't bother me".

Oh yeah... and welcome, nice car.
