I'll toss in my .02 on a recent title issue:

I bought a fleabay 73 charger SE as a parts car.

When done with it ( I SHOULD have taken the rear end and gas tank! ) I sold it to a young man in Carolina.

Title read 73 caravan. Obviously, caravan wasn't made until the 80 s. But it was an Illinois title.

So what's a Georgia guy to do?

I took the title and bill of sale to the local DMV. They overlooked the bill of sale saying CHARGER. Perfect!

Soon as my new title came in, I brought it to DMV, and told them THEY made a mistake; showed them the bill of sale. I got the correct title in a couple weeks. No charge.

The moral of the story: sometimes you have to work the system against itself.

Do your research before you buy something questionable, the red tape can strangle you.
