Just joined the site, and I look forward to it being a learning experience. I am new to the classic car hobby (so new that I don’t have one yet!) I have been looking around, (Ebay, Craigslist, farms, and other Internet sites). Many of the vehicles especially very old ones, only seem to come with a bill of sale. I called the Wisconsin DMV to find out what is necessary to title such a vehicle, and after the usual run around, was basically told “don’t buy it, you will never be able to title it in Wisconsin”. Given the hundreds, even thousands of 60 to 80 year old vehicles I see going down the highways and at shows, I find it hard to believe that every one was purchased with a clear title. Anyone have any info on this topic. I really don’t want to buy an old vehicle and put thousands of dollars into it only to find out I can only trailer it or decorate my lawn with it! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
