Picked up a 64 Valiant

I also despise the DMV. 53 Y.O. car and now I have to go to an anti-theft task force because THEY don't have record of the car in the State of Texas. Have to get a bonded title. What a waste of a morning and an hour's drive.

I only partially blame the bureaucrats, someone way back dropped the ball on transferring title on the car and it has probably changed hands 1/2 dozen times since it was last on the road.

In any case, the car has not been roadworthy since 1983 and the records were not updated...so the Valiant does not exist according to the computer screen. Anyone want to lay money on rather or not the anti-theft task force officer knows where the VIN is located?
