Title Replacement

[Cavalry]

My 66 U13 has a missing title. Obtaining a replacement the "right" way through my state is impossible. I have looked into VT since they transfer on a BOS, but they tax you on NADA value not the BOS price, which is a bit of a difference. The various title companies out there have really hit or miss reviews. Any recommendations?

Sorry to hear, PA is darn near impossible to obtain a title too. I’ve thought about pursuing my notary license just because of this. If you have a friend in Maryland, I’ve heard they also build titles on a BOS.

Don't go to Maryland for a title!!! If you don't have a title you are screwed in Maryland! There are some very long ways of getting one but you need previous owners to submit for replacement title and all kinds of other crap. And if it was not titled in Maryland then you got nothing in Maryland. If you ever had a title in your name and you just lost it then you are best off to get a replacement in the state it was titled in. I live in Maryland and I never buy any cars or trucks unless they have a title or are going to be parted out. It is not worth the hassle.

Oh wow! Sorry for the wrong info! Seems the NE in general just plain sucks for title replacement. Ep67bro is right, Applying for a replacement is always best. Or tracking down the previous owner, have them apply for a replacement, and then transfer. I hate to see this because it means another original Bronco is lost to time. I would like to see a more collaborative effort on the DMV part to restore titles from VINs and save more classics from extinction. Some states don’t give two craps about a title, which means they get lost or forgotten, and then up here in the NE, it’s all about the title. And the Bronco is at best a farm beater without one. It’s sad.

Here in Nevada, I had a 73 impounded by a tow company. They did the research with surrounding states. Took about four or five months. Got a clean Nevada title in the mail soon after getting the Bronco back. Cost was about 600.00
