Does anyone have a 55 ,56 ,or 57 VW title? I just bought a 1957 oval from Ohio that came out of California 28 years ago without a title. I can apply another title to it in West Virginia without much trouble. Thanks, Tom

Just register it in VT. When you get the reg bring it to VA and apply for a title there.
PM me for details.

Not to be a party pooper, but isn't this a little bit illegal?
I used a lost title service out of Las Vegas, Nevada. A few weeks later, a title and registration/plates from Maine arrived at my door. Took those down to Oregon DMV, got my plates (1980 911).
Old vehicles with "short" VINs (16 digits and fewer, generally 1980 and earlier) can require a bit of leg effort to get a title.

there used to be a company called Broadway Title who did this by simply taking advantage of their states (Alabama) "no title" laws for vehicles over 25 years old , they would present the Alabama DMV with all the details of the car you want the title for and get a registration issued to them so in turn they're selling their service which enables you to take the registration to your DMV for title. For example here in PA a title cannot be issued for a 25 year old car unless you have a registration. There are a handful of states that don't require registrations for these older states such as NY, VT, MA, AL and I think AZ but maybe more I don't know about but it's perfectly legal of course not for stolen cars of things like that but I wish more states didn't have these rigid rules so we all could buy more cars without titles.
Broadway won't do kit cars, though an intact bug should be no problemo
I'm with lane. this is a BIG no-no up in igloo land.
Registering in VT is not illegal. You follow their process to the T.
Now, why your doing it might not have been the "intent" of their process, but that does not make it illegal.

I have the California reg. slip but no title. I think I'm gonna try the title guy on The Samba sight first.Will let ya know how it works out. Tom
Tom, with the CA registration slip won't your state issue a title? If not PA does and i can get you a title I bought a speedster in CA a few months back that came with CA reg. and being a PA dealer I simply went to the harrisburg DMV and got new PA title in hand. In fact I have a classic mini registration that I'll be going this week to the DMV to for title. The policy in PA is for anything over 25 years old a title isn't needed but a registration is even if outdated by many years.
Jane, same in Connecticut.
A previous registration certificate and a notarized bill of sale suffices.

here's a picture of a speedster reg from CA, with this you don't need the services of the NY company because a registration is what they would be giving you and you already have it which is what enables you to get title at least here in PA. I buy cars from the U.K. and only get registrations and again get PA title on the spot because I'm a PA car dealer glad to help with this as I'm doing the same thing now for a friend who just bought a porsche 356 and only got registration.

hey Carl, want to partner and open a company for obtaining titles for people? but seriously there is a need for this and the new company that took over Broadway title is in Mass. and they're now charging a minimum of $795 per title thats just plain wrong.

That California title you posted the link to is a Special Construction title. Were you able to get it converted to a VW title in PA?
What if the registration said it was a Porsche and it was actually a replica. Could you get that converted to a VW title in PA?

yes as I have had a rep. that was titled as a Porsche before that flew with no glitches as other members here in PA will agree.
Talked to Matt. Hes gonna send me paperwork and title it with the factory 6 digit serial number. Price is a reasonable $300 Tom
