Hello all,
I just wanted to add that I now have a free and clear title to my old truck. It may not mean much to most, but I've spent about 5 months trying to get it.
Looking for any relevant signs of identification a few months ago, I found the original title and 20 years of registrations under the seat (Lucky me). It even had the original excise tax reciept. The bundle of papers was in great shape, considering its damp, mouse-infested life.
I called the state DMV to check the ownership of the truck, and they told me it did not exist. I suppose the motor # had been transposed several times, and the truck now has a different identity. After a long chat with the state title dept., the guy said that I could transfer the original title like a new car since I had the original title. And that's how it worked.
It took as long as it did only because the tag agent back home had to do a VIN inspection and whatever else. They ended up taking quite a while, working on it every other week, I guess. Needless to say, I'm fairly excited. Now I just need to get the ole girl going...
Has anyone else had crazy title experiences?
Yours truly,
