If you don't have an actual Title from New York, you may have an issue titling it in California. I looked on the DMV website, and I can't find a good answer. Just to be clear, are you saying that New York does not provide a Title document for cars older than 1980? Did they ever? What about now? If you were to sell your '68 to someone in NY, would the state issue a title to the buyer?

I didn't say the service I tried (which I found in the Pontiac club's "Smoke Signals" publication) provided me with a New York TITLE, I said "New York DOCUMENTS", by which I meant "registration in lieu of title". While I am no expert, I have been through this a few times over the past three decades, and this is how these so-called "title services" seem to work: They don't actually provide you with a title per se; instead, they take your information and get your car registered in a "non-title state". That is, a state that uses registrations "in lieu of titles" for (typically) pre-1980 vehicles. Such states include (or used to include) New York, Alabama, Maine, Alaska, and maybe others, though some may have changed by now. In your case you had a Pennsylvania TITLE, which is fine for California. My car had no actual title, New York or otherwise. It seems that just as California no longer accepts a Bill of Sale (which they used to, accompanied by an affidavit or "statement of facts"), they no longer accept out-of-state "registrations in lieu of titles". The reason for this appears to be concerns about theft and fraud, which someone else on the list discussed. 300F'ly, Roger Karlson In a message dated 8/2/2013 2:39:43 A.M.

Last year I bought my 2006 300C from Pennsylvania, with a Pennsylvania title, and had no problem registering it in California. I would like to hear more about exactly why California did not accept New York's documentation, there must be more to the story.
