Buying a vintage vehicle without a title can lead to a quagmire of red tape and legal runaround, or you can dig deep and hire a title service to handle the transaction.
And then there is the "Vermont Loophole" method, which is fully endorsed by the state of Vermont, and simple enough that anyone can use.
Here we lay out the step by step process including how to exactly fill out each form in order to obtain official ownership papers in your name, with a minimal outlay of cash and time.

    As much as it breaks my heart to say it but Vermont has officially closed this loophole!!! ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ This saved sooooo many classics from an I'll fated end
  • @teufeldoc8564
    Well done, Tony. I wish this video was around 30 years ago. How many classic cars were crushed because they couldnโ€™t sell because of a title issue? A lot.

    09-07-23 just successfully used the Vermont loophole for my motorcycle. Still works ๐Ÿ‘ thank you guys

    As a Vermonter I can say its definitely not a scam, its true. I've actually walked into a DMV and had the person working there fill the forms out for me. The part that the seller had to fill out and sign, I just said they were outside in my car and would run out and sign it myself. They knew what I was doing and were always fine with it.
  • Just a word of additional advice to anyone thinking of this from someone who has had to obtain titles for cars more than a few times - there are things you should check BEFORE you even consider handing over cash in most states: 1)Check NICB for stolen records on your phone. This one is obvious, but you can do it quickly and online. 2)Check for LEINS! Unscrupulous sellers will attempt to sell a car as "no title" because they took out a Title Loan against it. Many states allow you to do this online now. Fun fact, if there is an outstanding lien on a car you can expect a legal battle for various reasons with the car's title. 3)Check for VIN stampings on the car. Many states require a stamped VIN in addition to door tags on older cars when an inspection is done to convert your Vermont registration to another state's title. If there is no VIN STAMPED on the car, walk away because you will run into a heap of red tape in many states when you attempt to title in state. And last but probably most important: Don't pay anywhere near full value for a car with no title. You are assuming all the risk, demand a price that reflects that.
  • This is one of the reasons I'm glad I live in Vermont in addition to the fact you can buy REAL Maple Syrup everywhere !! Now if we only had a Dragstrip in Vermont life would be perfect.
  • Amazing information! Once again. This channel provides so much more than the average mechanic channel
  • @invujerry
    Thanks for this video Tony! My father in law just did this with a Triumph he owned, and I was going to make a video on it myself. Great explainer for everyone!
  • @subwoofer8865
    This is cool! I can't count how many trucks I passed up because of a title issue. And yeah I'm with you Tony the DMV can pound sand.
  • Isnโ€™t it interesting how Austin came to the shop as a stranger and now heโ€™s giving legit (legal) advice ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
  • @NeverMetTheGuy
    My buddy did this with a vehicle, so at the very least I know it's a thing. I love you Uncle Tony. You're the shit, and it's great watching you go from about 5,000 subs or less, to almost 300k. The world needs more dudes like you.
  • Excellent, detailed, extremely informative, simple and very understandable. Great job. I went through this exact process when I bought my sisters 79 450SL Merceds. Presented to my current home state and then was able to transfer the VT registration to my state for a new title, registration, tags and plates. My Mercedes 450SL did have VT plates and registration but to title, all documents were under my sisterโ€™s name. It was a straight process. Great job gentleman! Now if I could only find my high school 1968 Malibu SS 396 or the VIN. Keep these videos coming. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ™๐Ÿปโœ๏ธ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿป๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿš“๐ŸŽ

    Guys thank you so much. You cleared up all my weird questions Iโ€™ve had researching โ€œAmericaโ€™s DMVโ€. Now Iโ€™ll have no problem getting my Buick roadmaster back on the road
  • @bajaman1394
    Thank you, Tony, for going into detail on this process. Lots of us knew of this and knew there were "gotcha" problems with the forms that bounced the "good but wrong box checked" application. This is value.
  • Man, I sure did get something out of this video! It's called "Golden information". Thank you so much for this help. I think my car that needs legal paperwork, will soon be a "Vermont resident".
  • I too can attest it works! Such an easy process! I live in Idaho which is a โ€œNO TITLE, NO SALEโ€ state. This worked for me on my 1991 Isuzu Trooper. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
  • @mromatic17
    Thank you for this video I really think that this by far the most informative automotive channel on YouTube! I did the NICB vin check and ran my recient purchase 1994 ford f150 4x4 it has a rebuilt title but was never issued a salvaged title. It was never stolen either which is good.
  • @myleftthumb2294
    Hey, this is really cool. I lived in Stowe, VT back in the early 70s, so this kind of feels right at home to me. Steve Magnante's roadside crawls are calling my name.
  • @alien_man1669
    Perfect timing! I got a free motorcycle that is definitely not a Kawasaki but the title says it is and she said she can't get it registered in mass because of the title but she said it was "a Vermont bike" so thank you for helping me figure out what that means and how to get it legit. Much appreciated.
