I bought a 59 Ford truck from a junk yard and only have a bill of sale and I need a title.?

Question

I cannot locate any serial # or vin.# was told it was on glove box door but found a paper label that was painted over cannot read.If I go to insurance company to get bonded title do we just make up a number to use a vin.? I understand a bonded title cost $75.00 and could take as long as 4 months.Someone told me to go out of state to get a lost little-not sure how this works either.I am grateful for any help.Thanks

Answer 1

Most places you'll need the VIN# to identify the vehicle.
On modern cars it's recorded in half a dozen locations.
Usually a metal tag, attached to the frame.

Perhaps an (older) mechanic at a dealership can help.
Talk to a vintage car club or check out their web-site.

Do not, whatever you do, make one up, that is fraud.
You are getting bad advice from your friends.
Every letter in the VIN# means something in code.
A phony number will stick out like a sore thumb.

Answer 2

You need to bring the bill of sale to the DMV. The vin should be somewhere a little more permanent than a paper label on the glove box door. Look on the dashboard in the left corner? Or inside the driver's door? I have a really old Volkswagen that still shows its VIN (that's 10 numbers long, and has no letters, haha) in those places.

I recently bought a car that had no title, but I brought my bill of sale and filled out the request for title form at the DMV and was able to register it the same day.

Answer 3

the folk on the junk backyard have been stupid sufficient to sell those tires hence the folk on the junkyard who bought you the tires are to blame. to procure the tires from the junkyard a month and a nil.5 in the past, so they are legally yours. i'm hoping you stored the receipt. That way you have information that to procure them and if the police get entangled they are able to make certain who bought them to you, the final analysis is the junkyard is to blame and there is not any way they are able to take those tires removed from you. tell that person to speak to the junkyard and if that person keeps on bothering then you definitely get the police in contact. you're harmless so do no longer unfastened sleep over this. good luck.
