I'm pretty much the same way Seth. Az is pretty easy compared to other states to get a title , although over the past 40 years or so I've lived out here it seems that regular as clock work every 3 years or so the State will "tweak" the registration rules. It's a bit more difficult to do a title transfer than it used to be.

".......After conversations with you and people from other states I've learned to keep all records just in case I want to move someday......"

Possibly not a bad idea. When I bought the 76 True Spirit Dodge pickup as a project several years ago it came out of a junk yard with a "dismantle certificate of title" (what the junk yard filed for instead of a title when it came in as an abandoned vehicle....it was cheaper). To get a title I could get registration for (which would be a salvage title) it had to go through a level 3 inspection and I had to provide receipts for every part I bought for it. Fortunately it was complete enough when I bought it I was able to get it running as it sat and I got thru the inspection before I started the build. It worked out a lot better for me as by the time I got thru building it the stack of paperwork would have been a foot thick if I'd had to show receipts of the parts.

Az latest trick is you can no longer do a "title only" vehicle transfer. You have to register it for at least one year in order to do a title change. It was not a big deal on the 68 Valiant I bought to build. It did piss me off a bit when I had to register the 68 Valiant parts car (that didn't even have a motor or transmission in it) in order to get a title. The car came with a signed off (open) title and had been passed around to 2 or 3 new owners (none of which put the car in their name) between the time the title had been signed off and when I got it. I went thru a title agency on that one who processed the title transfer without any issues. It just added about $150 to what I had in the car but least I have a clean title in my name when I find a buyer for the car and I don't sell cars with an open title.
