Ended up getting offered a '67 Mercury M-100 truck this week and I know they are pretty uncommon. Turns out the guy has no title so I would be left to do a bonded title or rebuilder's title. I have a couple ways to check and see if the VIN is in the system but I am a bit skeptical. Has anyone done a bonded or rebuilder's title? How much of a PITA is it?

Gunn will know. He's looked into this.

I have a feeling this is the process Zac had started with the Baja and things went south quick.

I got a bonded/rebuilder title for the 39 Plymouth. Basically, I arranged to have a State Trooper do a VIN inspection on the car. I showed him all the paperwork I had on the car, asked couple questions, filled out some paper work, etc. I posted a bond for 2x the value of the vehicle, I think it cost me $100. It was pretty easy, really. Zac was going through the process, and at the VIN inspection, they realized it was a stolen vehicle. Starting his saga. You can search, I think I've posted links to the DMV paperwork/process somewhere in the forum. I'll try to look and see if I can find it, but it will be a while.

Thanks, I know where to find the paperwork. Just trying to not get in over my head. Any idea how long the process took?

You guys remember the Denver edition don use to have? Guess who has the title
I say you do neither and get the title

I found this thread, it has some more detail on what I was doing at the time to get the title.

Looks like I filed for the title on 6/3/13 and received the title on 6/15/13

ThatΓÇÖs great to know you got it so quickly. I am in the process of selling my motorcycle and never received the title when I paid it off. The bank is sending me a no-lean letter so I can apply for title. Hopefully it will be just as quick.
