thing is though even if you buy it without a title you still need to check and see if the registration is clean on the car....just b/c you can buy it without a title doesnt mean it can be registered when the time comes....

a family member of mine bought a shell with just the bill of sale, swapped over his built motor to the shell, which he was told by the seller was clean, and it couldnt be registered b/c it was a parts only car
