New York Titles
 

I bought a car recently and got in the mail what looks like to be 2 registration documents - no title that I'm used to seeing.

Can anyone advise me if this is correct for NY titles......

Last I knew, NY only has registration cards, no titles.

Found this with a Google search, Wilma where are you ?



Proof of ownership. For cars built from 1973 on, this means a title signed over to you and a bill of sale. For cars older than 1973, the transferable NY registration or the proof of ownership from another state will do.

Re: New York Titles
 

Yup, what Mike said. Pre 73 the owner just signs the back of the registration to transfer ownership. That's why you can't trace owner history in New York!

OK Eddie what did you buy now... [img]<<GRAEMLIN_URL>>/naughty.gif[/img]..

Eddie,

I'd check with Steve Shauger. He lives in NY, I'm sure he has a definitive current answer.

When I bought my '59 Chevy in NY about 18 years ago, it hadn't been re-registered in 17 years. NY DMV deletes a car from the database after 5 years of registration inactivity.

Not sure what you bought, but a registration and a notarized bill-of-sale worked for me titling a NY car here in OH.

Woj....thanks for the advise - - looks like last registration on the car was 4/30/75 and it is a registration looking card - no title doc as we are used to seeing today.

based on the info you all have provided - looks like the BOS and the registration info signed should do the transfer......

It is a 69Z - HO - RS - White Stripe car, black comfort weave interior, no cowl hood or spoiler car , tach and gauges - needing some TLC

Wow, sounds like a neat car. I'm sure after your TLC treatment, it will be spectacular. Can't wait to see it.

PS. Ohio required a letter from NY DMV stating that the car was registered in NY. However, if it hasn't been registered for over 5 years, it will be gone from the database. I had to get an official letter from NY stating their policy for record keeping; and that my car had fallen out of the database. If that becomes a problem, let me know. At that point, OH DMV required a notarized bill-of-sale to complete the re-titling.
