Re: [BaadAssGremlins] Title question

[Henry Hultquist <onree@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Several years ago I bought a 1959 Chrysler from a guy in Massachusetts. They had no titles then, so I just got a Bill of Sale, but when I went to title it here (in Nebraska) the DMV said that I also needed the registration,from the previous owner, because without a title, the registration was what proved ownership. And the registration had to be in the same name as the person who wrote the Bill of Sale. This was to prevent just anyone from writing a bill of sale for a car from a no-title state. Two cents worth of my experience.

state statute such and such. 

To do what you're proposing, I think you would have to sell the car to someone 
in one of these states, get the car registered there, then have them sell it 
back to you. It can be done, but it's not as simple as you're thinking.
