I don't think you need a title to register a vehicle....


So what I'm getting at is... who cares, it was $100.

should be able to go to the DMV and apply for a lost title. It will cost about $60 and 6months though

so applying for a lost title isnt as easy as you would think. I tried and the dmv said they can one give a duplicate title to the last person who registered the truck. and they only have the records for nevada...meaning if the truck wasn't ever registered in nevada..then they wont know anything about the vehicle history. and i tried carfax.com to get previous owner info and they dont do cars older that 1981.

i thought it would be easy to get a title, but its not, and without the title i cant register the truck.

so if there is anyone out there who has ever had this problem maybe you can help me.

if it doesnt work out then ill be selling it for parts.

try a lean sale

Well first, email carfax and complain. Tell them you are looking to buy a classic vehicle and their site needs to support that rather lucrative market. If enough of us complain they might just add support for older VINs.

I think there are other ways to do a VIN search. I know if you were a police officer you could certainly do it, so I don't see how the Nevada DMV could not do a national VIN search and get you in touch with the last registered owner. You could also look into a salvage title, or reconstructed. There are some options there that might let you title it without having to figure out who owns it. A lien sale sort of thing could work as well, try calling the DMV and asking how to get title to a vehicle abandoned on your property so you can sell it.

You might also call your local police department and see what they can tell you as far as doing a search on the VIN. They might just help you out if you talk nice.

Here in Texas I had a police officer tell me to have the title sent to me in the name it is now registered under. Once I get the title, I sign it out of his name, and into my name. Send it back to the state, and they send it back to my address in my name. I said to him that is forgery. He told me that old cars and trucks that sell for a few hundred bucks don't get a second look, and everybody does it. You don't have to waste all the time it takes to look up the old owner if you can even find them. I called an old owner of a 280Z and told him what I wanted and he will not return my calls. I've had that happen to me twice now. From now on I'm doing what the cop told me.
