I am building 4 T Buckets and have built many in the past. I used to be able to buy old titles from a guy who advertised in the car magazines and then register them here in Oklahoma and get a clear title. I have been trying to calll the guy but get no responce so I guess he is out of business?? Anyway does any one have any idea how I can title these cars that I am building from the ground up from mostly swap meet parts?? ( no MSO or reciepts) Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!!
You are just asking for trouble if you do not go to your DMV and ask them the LEGAL way to get it titled. A title is a government legal document, don't you think the proper people to ask would be at the proper government office that has the authority to issue titles?
Well I know the LEGAL way in Oklahoma, I have to present a reciept of each and every part,nut, and bolt, used to build the automobile and "if" they agree they assign a assenbled vehicle or AV title, which makes it a 2011 vehicle and then they charge excise tax for the total amount. As I said not only do I not have a reciept for all parts I dont want to go that route. I have done this the good old way for over 25 years and have no intention of paying the bloodsucking tax collectors more money because they need a new Lincoln! Sorry, I will get off my soapbox now

It's not that hard to get a new title in OK. There are several methods. If you have an ID numbers, you can do a title 42, specifically if you use a late-model frame or something. You can have it inspected by the highway patrol and have a new VIN issued by the tag agency. You can also request a new title through the local courthouse, it still has to be inspected. You don't have to present receipts for all the nuts and bolts. Check out this story I wrote for Auto Enthusiast- http://editions.amospublishing.com/KRPR/default.aspx?d=20101201 Page 42 You can get a new VIN issued, its not that tough. You also might want to check out the Dynacorn website, they make the new bodies for Camaros, Mustangs, etc. There is a section on their website that details every state's laws on VINs.
