I need some help.
I have a '67 GTV which I got from the original owner (traded straight up for a 72 spider). he put a conn rod through the block in 1979 and parked it in his mom's garage in NY.
-Fast forward-
he's now in Colorado, moves mom out and puts her in his rental. She throws the Alfa on the moving van, and the car spends the next decade in her garage in CO.
-fast forward-
2010. Mom moves into a nursing home, I find out about the car and he needs the car out of the garage. takes the trade. I get the car running and now I need to title and enjoy. Problem is, the title is nowhere to be found, and the process for obtaining a title in Colorado is pretty prohibitive without the original documents.
Anyone out there have an experience like this, especially in NY or CO? how did you get a title? my car needs to see the open road, it's been sleeping for 32 years! I am able to contact the PO, but he didn't get anywhere with the NY DMV, apparently they don't have records that far back. I do have the registration sticker on the windshield, which expired in 1980.
