edrach Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Long story short; I picked up an '82 Brat recently without a title. I did check with WSP and they searched their databases and did NOT come up with a listing as stolen, salvage, etc. So I took my chances and bought it. Car does have a CA title somewhere and my initial search of the CA DMV site with the VIN# came up as not found. I did find it on carfax and that confirmed its CA origin. Also I have a CA license plate with the last tabs which expired in 1997. Anyone from CA know what the procedure is to locate the last registered owner so I can get a "release of interest in lieu of title" or maybe a title. Also, will CA try to get me to pay for all the last 13 years that the car has either not been registered there or moved out of state? Drop me a PM or email. Thanks.

NV Zeno Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 Ed, it was a looong time ago I did that, and IIRC once I got the proper forms and instructions together, I got a title rather easily. Let me process this for awhile and I'll let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
