Every state has different regs, I tried to get a 1966 Jeep I bought titled here in Alaska, I had a Alaska title signed by the owner, who had passed away, but, he had signed the title in the wrong place on the title. I went to the DMV with the title and they told me I would have to get a bonded title, so the Manager of the DMV told me I had to get the Jeep appraised, with pictures, by a state approved appraiser, in writing. ($125)
, have the State Troopers inspect the vehicle and sign off on all the paperwork (No cost, had to lead the trooper through it all) then get a non-cancellable bond for the appraised value from my insurance agent,($200) bring all associated paperwork and pictures back to the DMV, was kept waiting for over a half hour only to be told by the same manager I had spoken to earlier that she wouldn't issue a title because the 54 year old Jeep was "incomplete" Good Luck!
