Title Transfer Question

Not sure if this section of the forum is the correct place for this question but here goes...

As of late, I have been thinking about buying a project/roller 911. In doing some searches, I began to wonder, if I purchased an incomplete car or even a complete car that will not be running or on the road for a while, how do I get the title in my name?

I realize this situation will most likely be different depending on which state we are talking about. I live in MA., here, when I register a car (which has to be insured to do that) the registry takes the old title and will mail me a new title in my name, only after I have paid book value sales tax. In MA., they don't care what you paid for it, they charge you what "the book" says it's worth if it's a private sale. There is no option for a roller in that book.

If I buy a project/roller car, I don't want to register the car for quite a while, so how would I transfer the title? What have you guys done in this situation?

Thanks in advance.
