does anyone know where a person can purchase some vintage paperwork?
Thanks

If you are asking what I think you are asking for, very unethical and probably illegal.

From another Forum and how to title your car the legal way - I believe Bothell is in Wash. State : http://www.crankshaftcoalition.com/w...rod#Washington

As far as the illegal way, there used to be someone in Maryland that sold old titles and registrations but haven't seen his ads for a while. Sometimes they worked, sometimes they didn't. (Maybe he's in jail as I believe he perpetrated a federal crime, not a state)

=============================================================

To echo DaveW and Bug, at most of the big "gatherings" there are one or two guys who sell "historic titles and license plates", but they are careful to advertise them "For Display Only" because applying a specific title to a vehicle different from the original is fraud, and the penalties for it vary. Around here it includes the vehicle being impounded by the State until the owner gets his paperwork "mess" straightened out, and if his "mess" involves stamping a frame with bogus numbers they can destroy the vehicle. May not happen, but that's the law. The SEMA Action Network has compiled the rules for getting vintage, collectible, custom and scratch built vehicles registered and titled for each state. Here's the link to their information for Washington - http://www.bipac.net/sema/TagTitleToolbox_WA.pdf Good luck with your process.

Roger,

That is why my reply was vague. If that is all the OP wanted that paperwork for (historic or display only) then I did not want to insult them.

In my years of dealing with cars I have been asked many times about playing around with titles and cars. Have not and will not ever do it. The way the OP posted the question was a flag in my book. Although I could be wrong. Been there before and will be there again.

Or, one could respond with information concerning vintage car titles and wind up with an interview with the FBI or other such agency!!!!! On the 'net, you never really know who the heck the poster is......

well
on both of his 2 posts on this site.
he asked the same thing.
i really want to give somebody the benefit of a doubt.
but i have seen this many times before.

Even Boyd Coddington got into trouble over titles a few years back.

Brought it on himself, and did a lot to cause the big mess in CA registrations of street rods today, IMO.

I agree! His "practices" brought it into the limelight and the message has traveled from state to state!

And what is that message? "We're losing tax dollars", of course!

LMAO, I thought of that old hustler myself, immediately I see there are many great minds here..

It's amazing how much gets posted when the original guy posts a question (twice) and then doesn't even come back, even to see what's been posted

It just proves, we'll do anything to entertain ourselves.
