I have a couple old Chevy trucks that I bought here in New England with just bills of sale. Most New England states will not issue a title for any vehicle over 20 years old. Only a registration cert. is issued.
I have one truck registered this way the other I have not registered because my state, Connecticut, assumes you have it ready for the road and makes you pay for it as such. They will do not have any official document saying that "yes, you own it free and clear". Just that registration.
Now I'm moving to Michigan and fear the headache that will be trying to procure a title even though my state says I'm golden. Those who have been through this, what should I expect? All I see is getting a surety bond. I feel I've been wronged by the New England DMV's.
