Fairlady Z. Can I Title It?

[Pento240sx]

I was wondering if it would be possible to titled a 1972 Fairlady Z. You see I found a JDM Z on craiglist one day and proceded to contact the owner, he told me that the car had no papers but that he could do a bill of sale, now the problem is it possible to titled it with the bill of sale, what will I need to titled it or should I just walk away? BTW: I searched and found nothing. Thanks.

From what ive heard (at least in Virgnia) it is a VERY painful process. We had a car sitting at our dealer (well, a Saturn l-series) and it had keys/ran fine and everything. Apparently years ago some customer brought it in for work, and had us do it all, and then didn't want to pay for it. Our boss said anyone that went through the trouble of titling it could have it. It was there until they closed lol.

I couldn't imagine it'd be to hard considering the age of the vehicle and that we have USDM versions. I'd try to snag it if the deal is good.

yes I suppose it's possible, but there a risk associated with it. For example, the car could be stolen or have a lien attached to it. If the seller is unwilling to provide a title, then I would suggest walking away.

I don't know. But then I would never consider risking my money like that. It is not a quick one stop 10 minute process. It's also gonna cost you money/time and you won't get any back regardless of the result. And that's another reason to have the seller do it himself. I think if you back the emotion out of your buying decision, you'll hear the warning bells more clearly.

What Joel says. Too big of a pain in the a**. Probably also a massive theft target once some fanboys see the steering wheel on the wrong side.

Yea true, I ended not purchasing the car, I found out it would cost me a lot of $$$ and is not worth the progress. I'm just gona keep looking for a USDM Z. Well I aprecciate all the advice and help. Now time to keep on looking.

Couldn't the owner simply have done a mechanics lien on it?

No. I do not reside in the USA, and have never needed to "title" a car.
All this stuff works differently here (In Australia).
I was just hoping that this could lead you on the right path to be able to title the car.

Ohh ok I see. Well I tried to call them but no luck.
