In Georgia you can buy or sell a car on a title, registration or bill of sale(depending on the age of the vehicle).

When I buy a car with a title I have the owner sign the title but not date it.

A lot(probably the majority) of old vehicles don't have titles in Georgia. Back in the day when I bought a car I would get a new tag but not transfer the title. The title cost $8 to transfer and I wanted to spend that $8 on cold beer.

If a vehicle has been registered in Georgia on a bill of sale or a registration they will not issue a title for it.

The Elco having it's original title(since it was a 1 owner vehicle) does not raise a red flag for me.

At the moment I have 9 vehicles that I bought that are registered to someone else. Two have open titles and the rest are on bill of sale.

Dont mean to hijack, but isn't this a problem for insurance purposes? If the car is totalled, according to the policy, they have to pay the registered owner for the claim.

I'm not driving them.

They are future projects.

The Unimogs are good but I'm going to do a engine swap on one and leave the other stock. I'm going to do a Cummins swap and 4x4 conversion on the F350 and the rest need restoration.

I've been building a new house for several years(actually building it myself) so I am working 7 days a week on it. Just poured the slab for the new shop(40'x68') but roof trusses are 9 weeks out. Next summer I should be good to start working on the truck back log. The are a couple first gen broncos, a first gen Scout, a '75 Blazer and a few others in the mix.

Almost forgot, I have a '57 Mack B61 and a '79 Glastron Carlson CVX20 460 big block Ford w/ Berkley jet.

I keep running across great deals but I have more than I'll be able to finish and I don't have time to buy them and resell for a profit.
