Went through this in ND about a year ago with a 1969 AMC from New York state. My local DMV had a cow, kept repeating that the only way it could be done with the New York registration card was with a bill of sale to back it up. Went to the state DMV in Bismarck, showed the clerk the card, she disappeared, and five minutes later I had a title. Moral of the story, totally up to your DMV, talk to them and see what they want.

Registering in Illinois will be a real challenge, if even possible. Illinois will require a title in order to get registration. You will have to contact the Secretary of State office in Springfield in order to get any hard information. The local offices will not be as much help and the information you get may vary depending on who you get on the phone.
The best route might be to get a title in another state and then get an Illinois title and registration from that. Illinois is tough, tough, tough on title issues.

bought a 68 barracuda coupe from GA no title just bill of sale . DMV said as long as b.o.s has seller name, address purchaser name , address, car make, model & vin , amount and date i was good to go. I was very, very, very doubtful it would be that simple . got my title 6 weeks later did this just before dec 4 last year .But one lady there said no go and she had to get the book out to verify it could be done. Are you from Illinois?

Call DMV and find out \. NY isn't the only state with no titles for older vehicles and you'd already have the transferrable registration to prove ownership in NY so they should be familiar with that situation. It's probably more of a problem when you're dealing with a vehicle that's already licensed in Illinois that's supposed to have a title but doesn't. Illinois doesn't have a DMV. Not understanding the offices that the OP needs to talk to will only complicate and confuse the situation.

Not understanding the offices that the OP needs to talk to will only complicate and confuse the situation. So call whoever is in charge of vehicle licensing then, It's not confusing the situation at all. Go straight to the source. It can't be that hard or impossible like you said previously to deal with this when the car is coming from a state that doesn't have titles for older cars. If it's already in Illinois and you are purchasing a car with no title it's a different situation. The state licensing department or whatever they call themselves should know how to deal with this it's not a unique situation. People move and buy cars from other states all the time.

You clearly have never had a title issue that you tried to resolve in Illinois. It is just not as easy as you seem to think that it is. Read some of the previous posts on dealing with titles in Illinois.

Regardless of how you look at this issue, until the OP talks to somebody in the Illinois Secretary of State's office, Illinois Title Informationthis isn't going to get resolved. Period.

Read some of the previous posts on dealing with titles in Illinois. No I haven't but it doesn't sound like you've dealt with the same situation as Sammy's before either. So far it looks like there is only one reply from someone who actually had to deal with it and they didn't think it was that big of a deal. Mybe they were lucky. I'm sure it is a pain in Illinois but I've dealt with other areas enough to know that title issues for vehicles that are already in a state is a lot different then bringing one in that conforms to the state it's coming from.

People buy and sell muscle cars all the time at these big auctions. How do they handle the titling? Aren’t older cars purchased and registered in new states quite frequently? Connecticut is another non-title state for older cars.
China is the enemy.
