About a month ago I posted about my 30 Town Sedan that was registered in Vermont up to 1991 but never had a title (VT does not issue for cars over 15 years old). I sold to a friends dad in Michigan. We could not find an actual copy of the registration (plates had the stickers on) and VT just dismissed me stating they no longer keep anything older than 2004.
I am happy to say that the state of Michigan was very helpful for him to get this registered. The state requested proof that my father had the car. All I had was a few years of the invoices from Condon & Skelly insurance that did show the engine number on them. They also requested a copy of my dad's death certificate and a copy of his trust showing me as the trustee, and then my mother's signature on a simple form showing her agreement to sell. The buyer then purchased a surety bond for $100. Now Michigan has registered the car and I think they send a title to him in two years if nobody has laid claim to the car with proof of ownership.
It was very obvious that MI was trying hard to make this work and they won me over. KUDDO's for them.
