This may be the way to go, the Vermont DOT has a specific, direct, easy process to create a transferable registration for vehicles over 15 years old:

Vermont DOT also has form VT-004 for a replacement title, but that only applies (I think) for Vermont residents:

I started a post on the Garage Journal webpage and many replies came back on how easy it was for persons not living in Vermont got a transferable registration for a vehicle with no title. Vermont DOT does not give a title in your name for the vehicle. Once the Vermont DOT creates the registration for your vehicle in your name, you take that to your own state DOT and transfer the registration to your state and obtain the title in your name and state for the vehicle.
