This is true. So. Very. True. Maybe.

I've done it. Easy peasy.

Montana might be the same way.

But why? Seems like an odd thing to do.

Bought a car with a missing title; owner had moved to a Western state, and the person who owned the garage it was stored at wanted it gone. It was a good deal on a desirable project car.

NH requires a title, but VT doesn't if the car is over 20 years old, as long as VIN is clean.

Cheaper than trying to rebuild a title.

Fun fact: during peak COVID, all VT DMVs were closed, and you could make up your own temporary tag.

NH doesn't need a title after 25 years.

Yeah, but I'm not trying to wait a few years until I can take advantage of that.

15 yrs I believe.

Interesting…I thought NH has a no title needed after X years, but I guess that’s wrong.

I sold a vehicle to someone from VT and the buyer put one of the plates from his own vehicle on the one he bought from me, telling me it’s “legal to do so” for 48 hours. This was 15 years ago; no idea if it’s still a thing (or ever was). 😆

The car I bought was registered and the guy who sold it for his buddy to me just let me keep the old plates. I mailed them back to him after I got home; he had all my info, so it wasn't like I could get away with anything fishy.
