How would I register a care that's missing all of it's paperwork?
My Uncle gave me his 1967 Ford Custom 500. We've restored it and it's like new. The only issue is putting the car in my name and registering it. It hasn't been registered since 1980 and we have none of the paperwork for it. It's been missing for years. We live in California (if that matters). What do I need to do to register this car?
From a "Search." "Engine."

Germany, where I live, would ask you to bring the car to a technical inspection and registration authority, who will charge something between 200 and 600 euros, and will check road safety issues as well as part numbers, and if all match or seem legit, your car would be called "roadworthy" until the next inspection in two years, and papers will be issued for a minor fee, like, 70 euros or so.
The problem is, buying a car "off the street" doesn't make you the owner, and even spare parts you used may be stolen. So they're really doing a thorough check hereabouts.
Not sure where you are, but talk to the DMV they should be able to help
You wouldn't. You would do nothing. Your uncle, or whomever was named on the paperwork back in 1980 would go about getting the paperwork replaced. After that person, not you, got the paperwork replaced, then that person would have the option to transfer it to you or keep it.
Your uncle has to get a duplicate title and then "sell" it to you as a gift. Then you can get a title and registration on your name.
The true owner (Uncle?) must get a duplicate title for the car. If he can't get a duplicate for some reason, check the California DMV website to see how or if it can be done.
- Would the most patriotic thing all those around the President could do be to completely ignore all his commands and attempt to convince him? To resign for the good of the country? Then, Pence could pardon him for all crimes (just like Ford pardoned Nixon) and the country will be safe once again.
- 2001 Ford Taurus, 156k miles. Today started missing and skipping, low to no power? Idles smooth, takes off slow. Sluggish going up hill, but will go faster down hill. Push down on the gas- little change. Ck engine light is on of course. Any idea what it could be?
- Do i need to register that my car has alloys on my insurance? I know that in theory yes but do i still need to if i put ford alloys on my fiesta even though they arent stock to that model? Cheers
- Do i need to register my mods if they are stock from other cars of the same make? I just asked this same question for alloys and the answer seems to be that there's no need to register for alloys on a ford fiesta even if they are not stock to that car, so it got me thinking, is it therefore the same for all mods? E.g. If i got an exhaust from an other ford or ford racing seats, will i have to register them?
