Guys and Gals

is it a good idea to buy a car without title? Getting one takes forever in Illinois. Any quick routes?

There are several antique title services none are cheap! Google or Yahoo search for them. Have had a couple of friends that had good luck with the one in Las Vegas http://www.its-titles.com/. I have not used them so can not recommend one over another.

It all depends where you live. When I went to register my car at the DMV here in Connecticut, they gave me the title back at the desk. They didn't need it. Any car built before 1981 doesn't need a title. Just a bill of sale. The clerk told me to hang on to it in case I sold the car, the buyer might want the old title for his records. They don't even know where to look for the ID tag. Very easy to register here with just a bill of sale.

In Texas the DMV gave me a form to fill out (15min), an officer came out to the shop to check the serial number and for $50 they handed me a title and antique tag. Quite simple I thought. The car has been in the family since 1946 but had not been started for 50 years and never titled. I did have a bill of sale to my Grandfather but the DMV didn't even look at it. I say take the car to Texas a get a Texas title then transfer it.

Not to degrade Illinois at least the parts that are not Chicago, but Texas has many more reasons for people to move here than antique car titles. I made the move from Michigan 35 years ago and only go back in the summer (both days! If it happens on a weekend we have a picnic).

I have had mixed experiences with titles in Texas. Once they allowed the local county clerks to handle titling and even antique plates, things got a bunch better! Sometimes it takes a while if the clerk does not have experience but most offices have a knowledgeable clerk and things go well.

We welcome anyone to move to Texas, just one requirement, You will need to "Transform your culture" don't bring all of that Chicago political policy here,. If you want your neighbors to throw a hissy fit, just mention "We need to pass some laws instituting some laws restricting keeping guns in your homes, everyone needs a permit to own a handgun.!"....Yawl!
By the Way:

God was missing for six days.

Eventually, Michael, the archangel, found him, resting on the seventh day. He inquired, "Where have you been?"
God smiled deeply and proudly pointed downwards through the clouds.
"Look, Michael. Look what I've made."
Archangel Michael looked puzzled, and said, "What is it?"
"It's a planet," replied God, and I've put life on it. I'm going to call it Earth and it's going to be a place to test Balance."
"Balance?" inquired Michael,
"I'm still confused."
God explained, pointing to different parts of earth.
"For example, northern Europe will be a place of great opportunity and wealth, while southern Europe is going to be poor. Over here I've placed a continent of white people, and over there is a continent of black people. "Balance in all things."
The Archangel , impressed by God's work, then pointed to a land area and said, "What's that one?" that’s the State of Texas , the most glorious place on earth. There are beautiful mountains, rivers and streams, lakes, forests, hills, and plains. The people from the State of Texas are going to be handsome, modest, intelligent, and humorous, and they are going to travel the world. They will be extremely sociable, hardworking, high achieving, carriers of peace, and producers of good things."
Michael gasped in wonder and admiration, but then asked, "But what about balance, God? You said there would be balance."

God smiled, "There’s Washington DC,
Wait till you see the idiots I put there.
That's balance..........(This is just my personel editorial opinion and is not reflective of the views of Chatter II or the VCCA....)devil carbana
