I am debating with an Ole Sr Citizen retired and living in Floridah. If one buys a car and does not register said vehicle for any reason even with the bill of sale and any other documents normally required by your DMV,,must you still apply for a new ownership? If not driven on public roads like a long resto or just track use can physical damage and theft be obtained without registering with your local DMV? I say nothing is needed and does not require informing DMV and the old sr cit you have to register. What are the rules in your state or in a state like Conn that taxes you by what you have......... Did I make any sence??
HEMI-ITIS has no cure. My condition is fully BLOWN!!

You, he, whoever....
It should still be transferred, even as non-op (non-operational) for a project car.
Lower fee, no plates needed & if the car bought was stolen, the sooner it is registered, the sooner the buyer knows & the better chance of getting the money back.
Never, ever leave a car in the last owners name.
If they report it stolen out of spite or sellers remorse or whatever, not worth it.
Register ASAP & get it done.

I know for 100% sure that you can insure any vehicle. I bought a 70 VG Ute off of a well known member here a decade ago and owned it for 7 years. I never attained a title, just the shipping invoice from Australia to the U.S. I drove it for years without ever registering it or buying plates (tags in the slower states) I had it insured the entire time. Now I didn't every have an accident or ticket with the car, so who knows what would have happened then...

Let’s set the stage correct definition of the words ..... IMO
OWNERSHIP paperwork ? .... the actual title
REGISTRATION..... the process of getting legal license plates
Good post Doc!!!! Damn......right on the money. No BS......

You should transfer the title. here in Mich they give us X days to transfer it or you get a penalty to pay.. ypu wont get plates until its transferred But P ... if you leave the date and amount paid OPEN (like many person to person transactions) .. “they” never know ! Let em EAT CAKE !

Let em EAT CAKE ! Not transferring the title into your name after purchasing a vehicle and selling it to the next person on an open title is called title skipping and is illegal. In a title state if you have a vehicle and the title is never put in your name, legally you don't own it. It would be foolish to drive a car that isn't legally in your own name even if you think you have insurance on it. If the insurance company figures out that it isn't in your name, odds are they will deny any claim on it since you don't legally own the car. It's one thing if you just bought the car, but you are legally required to transfer the title and put legally registered plates on it withing 30 days.
Kayse can't keep up at all now. lol

Is the OP the guy who professionally tows cars? Seemingly trying to skirt the system?
What happens when the tow truck drivers rig is on the other tow truck? Make a great selfie.

But SNK .... going ONE MPH over the speed limit is illegal too ! So how many times have you been an OUTLAW with your Viper or SRT8 300 ?

Just writing checks for my monthly bills, maybe a crime for some. Is the OP the guy who professionally tows cars? Seemingly trying to skirt the system?
