Sometimes its not just as simple as that. If he lived in Tn then he would have to have the car inspected making sure it was up to todays standards. Meaning everything down to the damn door chimes works. Thats why im not buying a car without a title, oh and not to mention showing where the car has been registered too. Most ppl that dont have titles cant show proof of registration. Its a real headache for cars without titles. Obviuosly you already have the car so you will just have to find a way but keep in mind the money you might be out tryin to get the car registered and tagged.

You might have snagged it outta a 68 chevelle but it didn't likely start life there. Check the frt pad stamp to see what it really came out of.

its a late 68 ragtop with 167000 miles on it, got it from the original owner, hehehe 425 hp rated

TN is pretty easy I had to get a title for a car that had all VIN ids removed (Don't Ask Why or How).I just had it inspected by the Highway Patrol and they issued a new VIN plate
