Ok guys, thanks for the info! I have been all over those dmv sites and they are kind of vague! I called my local DMV and they told me just what CPNE told us. Need a document or letter saying that New york state does not require a title before 1973, I will need proof of ownership which I will require from the ny dmv, take all of that to my notary and they will process the forms necessary to get a title!
i hope things go well, this is a 3 1/2 hour drive one way!
