......which is why you get a signed bill of sale before you submit the paperwork. Takes the "I never sold it" factor out of there.

If you are that concerned..... who's to say that your best buddy didn't sell you the car? Maybe that was the case.... catch my drift? All it takes is a signed bill of sale and the paperwork.

Most Model As never even came with a VIN tag. They just had a number stamped on the bottom side of the middle subrail if I remember correctly. What BMV employee is going to crawl under your car looking for that number? There's a snow ball's chance in hell of them tracing that number.

There is another way to do it.... just apply for a "home built" title. You just have to submit copies of your build receipts and the proper paperwork and you get a title. It says "home built" on the title, but who cares? All you need it for is to register it.

Point is that there are better ways to go about the process than searching down a title paying $300+ for a sheet of paper, forging a number tag, and hoping the BMV doesn't impound your ride. If you do it the right way, you save yourself the $300+ and know that your getting it done.

Ohio must have gotten tougher on titling over the past 10 years. My car was an Ohio car, but Ohio DMV never verified the serial number of the previous title to the car . As such, when I tried to title in PA, PA rejected the Ohio title and then things got ugly before they got better. Months later, PA issued a new title and a new VIN plate. Learned a good lesson on out of state titles. Won't make that mistake twice.

There are ads in Street Rodder, Street Scene, Goodguys etc for titles. May even find one in a local classified. Just make sure your numbers match.
