Someone gave me an antique car. A 1939 Dodge. Apparently he never registered it in his name. In reviewing the paperwork he gave me, the man that sold it to HIM never registered it either. I guess the fact that it’s not in great shape, and not exactly road worthy dissuaded them from bothering. It was last registed 3 owners ago back in the 70’s. How do I go about getting it LEGALLY registered to me, and get a title in my name? After I fix it up, I may or may not want to sell it.
Have you called your local Department of Motor Vehicles, or its Missouri equivalent?
I think what you want is a (warning: PDF file) Bonded Vehicle Title, see the bottom of page 7. I think you are definitely going to need to go to your local Dept of Motor Vehicles office.
