1971 H Code Duster In-Violet

Sorry for the delayed response. I forgot I posted on this site. I bought the car on Ebay, this Spring, from a Seller in Edmonton Canada. From what the Texas DMV and I could determine, the car was sold by am Ebay seller in Kentucky to a buyer in Canada. The seller signed off the Kentucky title but the buyer never registered the car. The first Canadian buyer then sold it to his friend in Edmonton. He never registered the car nor executed the title, either. I submitted all the docs to Texas and they could not provide a title as they had to have the Kentucky title assigned to me for it to be valid. Therefore, I purchased a $25k bond and was issued a bonded title. If for some reason, someone laid claim to the car, the bond would cover the buyers cost up to $25k.

I guess I could have got with Ebay and raised issue with the title, as the seller did not offer the info until after payment was received. Just didn't want to deal with the headache or get people in trouble. I guess if a buyer wanted to research the Kentucky owner, I could provide the photocopy of the title (Texas has the original.)
