Georgia does not require a title for vehicles over 25 years old however you can still get a title if the vehicle has one from another state. If the vehicle has been previously registered in Georgia without a title, it can never be titled in Georgia again. Taking a Georgia title to another state and getting a new title should not be a problem.

Ct doesn't issue titles for cars over 25 years old. I sold an 82 911 that was registered to me in Ct to a guy in Fl. Fl would not register the car. I ended up using a title service that somehow got it done
It wasn't terribly expensive but it was a PIA |

Ask for the collector registration as it is super cheap! The Florida DMV is great and has their s*** together. Matter of fact, they are so good they tell you the truth up front and call themselves the 'tax collector' |

I did this decades ago, moved from NY to FL, dmv, title agents all over the place (unlike Ny and Nj)....in the local strip malls....quick, simple, inexpensive, painless. When I left Florida, moved to NJ, the title process was easy too....

Hi,
Every state has their own rules. Massachusetts titles "everything", they want the $75 bucks they charge you. Many of the states around us don't require titles on vehicles over 20 or 25 yrs old. I have bought several older vehicles (my 1966 911 included) from private sellers in NH. I had no problems titling in MA because the NH owners provided me with a bill of sale and (most important) a previous NH registration. The previous reg has the vehicle VIN on it and is a legitimate legal document from NH. Not sure about Florida, but I know here an old registration goes a long way to legitimizing the transactions. In your case you should have no problems registering with your old registration, as for the wanting to keep your Georgia title for future use ASK FOR A DUPLICATE TITLE BEFORE YOU MOVE TO FLORIDA. Keep the original and turn in the dup to Florida. Joe D |
I misplaced my Colorado title, and have spent 3 months getting them to send me one. "Supposed" to be here on the 12th. Cue picture of me holding my breath.
GA says I have to register 30 days after I move here. I'm not planning on registering until I have a CO title in hand. My plates are still valid and I have GA insurance. I'm driving the 9 on eggshells. If and when I register here I plan on keeping the title and old plates on the off chance I don't die in the 9 and want to sell it. Now South Carolina....ASSHATS just sent me a threatening letter due to my "dropping" SC insurance on my Mercedes. Well duh MOFOs, I sent you my expired plates, surrendered my SC title to GA and registered it here with the SAME insurance company, SAME policy number. The letter threatened my narrow white butt with $200 daily fines, confiscation of my vehicle and jail time. Of course there was no telephone number, fax or email in the letter. just a form to have my insurance company fill out and a PO Box to send it to. Yeah, that will happen. One hour on the phone with the lizard people and they claim to be handling it. Holding my breath again. Jesus, u jess can't fix stoopid. |

When I bring a car into Florida from another state, before I can get a Florida title, I have to have a police officer verify the vin and title, not a big deal. They send you a Florida title.
Where in Florida are you moving to? |

Another great thing about the antique registration is that you can run a regular plate, not the IMO ugly antique plate. I did not inquire but you may be able to run one of the many specialty plates also. |

My daughter was in a minor accident once. She gave the cop her proof of insurance. Of course the VIN on the insurance card and the car matched. BUT in the GA DMV insurance DB, the VIN was entered incorrectly by one character by the insurance company. You would think common sense would prevail here but the cop impounded the car! I made the insurance company pay the towing and impound fees. Anyway, good luck with getting it registered & titled here. I’m going to be switching the CIS to EFI & ITBs before we move. I replaced the exhaust so have a new valance. Getting rid of the big bumperettes so need to weld up the holes and repaint it all. |
I always make sure the VIN is entered correctly as the 9 is a grey market vehicle. EVERY time I'm doing a registration or insurance change or update they bust my balls as it does not conform to US specs. It does have the 17 digits but WPOZZZ freaks out the computers.
I have two Carfax files because someone back in the day confused a 0 for an O. |

I have been looking around various hot rods/tbuckets as a toy. Some are projects with no title, so I looked into what it would take to get a title for a project car in OH. Yeah, F that. Nightmare. Many people resort to buying out of state titles, which can actually get you arrested for fraud.

Vintage/Antique plates. Not a deal here in GA. It's like a Vanity plate, extra bucks per year and only one year. In CO, it was a five year registration, lower per year fee but you still had to pass the sniffer. at renewal time.
In CA, one year, distinctive plate and driving restrictions. Exempt only in older than 1976. With all the caveats on the YOM plates here in GA, I'm leaning towards the cheapo single year Georgia Peach units. They hosed me on the ML350 registration, so might as well not give them anymore on the 9. |

Running a YOM plate in GA doesn’t cost any money. |
