    Im getting a 64 C10 from a friend that has been sitting on his property since the 80's. Its not his so he doesnt have the title. What is the best way to get it titled? I wasnt sure if there was an easier, better, or cheaper way than having him file for an abandoned vehicle title then transferring it to me.

  3. Every state is a little different, probably should check with your state's DMV or whatever they call it.

    Not sure how VA handles it. I know he can get a title because its his property, but wasnt sure if there was an easier way.

    See if your DMV can do a title search to find the previous owner. Get him to sign a release. Or your state may have bonded titles.

    Is it his property or not his and on his property?:confused: You said it's not his in your first post.

    My other thought is my buddy putting a mechanics lien and filing for the title. Either way it seems i havebto pay for a title twice. Going to ask DMV before I do, but wasnt sure if anyone had dealt with this before.

    Meant his land. It is on his property.

    I was trying to say it is his property that it has been on all this time. He can file for an abandoned vehicle title.

    So he can put a lien on it and sell it right to me?

    I knew the abandoned vehicle process. I'm trying to see if there is a way to skip that or at least skip him titling it then I have to turn around and title it again. That site did have more insight into why that process is a hassle though.

    Looks like I will just have to go the abandoned vehicle route. Thanks for all the input.
