I finally got around it by having the police visit my house, verify the

it and created a title for it.

At one time, and it may still be true, you could title just about
anything in Georgia by showing a bill of sale. You can then transfer
the Georgia title to the state of your choice.



Yup. Alabama was like that also.

We lived in Puerto Rico for two years while in the Navy. The base was
littered with old cars that people had owned but left when
they were transferred. One of the "Mustang" officers was a
self-appointed dealer for the cars when the owners left. If they ran
he'd buy them for cheap bucks and then sell them to new arrivals for
a modest profit.

I bought a 1958 Bentley (of all things) while we were there along with
a couple of other cars. He arranged for plates and registration for a
fictitious address in Andalusia, Alabama. I thought it was unique until
I realized that about half of the people on the base were driving cars
with Alabama plates on them.
