Title for a '54 Commander

[wcarroll@outrageous.net]

I have a '54 Commander that I purchased years ago without title that's been out of CA DMV's system since '68.

From what I can tell, all the title companies require that a car be register-able in order to obtain a new title.

The problem is my car is a rolling project.

I have a buyer who is willing pay for a new title for the purpose of exporting the car.

What are my options?

Can I purchase a title and tags from another '54 Commander( a parts car perhaps) to appease the transport/shipping companies?

I removed the original tags during disassembly and have them stored for safe keeping.

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

do a search on this topic on this forum. This has been discussed many many times. Many have used Broadway title out of Alabama for titles the challange is , does your state except the Ala paperwork for transfer.Now if you are exporting the car ther transport compaies may except the Ala paperwork. It NOT a title per say, it is Ala plates and regestration as Ala does not issue titles on cars that old. Also about a two month wait period for this service.

Visit The H.A.M.B ond do a search on titles. I remember seeing a post there with reviews for a guy in CA that specializes in titles for older cars. he was reasonable and knows the loopholes.
