Re: Title for a car that never had one

I knew someone who bought a 33 V-12 from the original owner. The car not registered because it was used on the estate and from a no title state. It was a nightmare getting a title.

I knew one of those title fixers and he wouldn't handle stolen cars that had bogus paperwork. Some old low mileage car would be sitting in a ritzy New York City apartment garage and these characters would print up some bogus work orders and tow them away. Next they would slap a lien on the car and take possession. The wealthy owners never had a clue because who needs a driver's license in New York City? However, those cars have yet to see the light of day.

Here are the ones I knew of. One belonged to Doris Duke, one belonged to the Duke of Windsor, one belonged to someone who fled the Nazi's, and another sat unused from new.
