New member from Oregon

New here, don't have a vehicle yet, but looking at possibly purchasing a local 53 M211 I believe is what it is. Anyway already have some plans of what I am wanting to do with it, but my question is that the seller said he does not have a title for it. I have contacted my local DMV office and they said the seller should have gotten a form 97 when he purchased it or a letter from the government as to why there isn't a title in order for me to get a title here in Oregon. Anyone have some insight on this? Is there other ways to get around this or if anyone knows who to contact on this?

It's too good of a deal to pass up, especially since my father inlaw wants to split the cost with me.

Thanks,
Tony

You would surely already have asked the seller why he has no documentation?. Life is extremely difficult in any country trying to register a vehicle without proper paperwork. Get him to inform you just where and from who he bought the truck, and work from there. Good luck.

Copy that, "true good to be true" maybe because there is no paperwork. That is a very old vehicle and not documentation of title, may not be able to be corrected.

Howdy and welcome from Colorado. If the seller originally acquired it from the government you might ask him if he can request a form sf 97 from them for the vehicle.

Thanks, all good questions to ask when I speak with him again. Haven't gone to look at it yet, but I am really hoping it pans out. Was initially looking for a pick up of the same vintage to restore, but then this came along and now has me thinking of all the possibilities.

Well, we picked it up as a parts truck, next week picking up a second with a title and have a line on a third truck minus the axels. If we can get the one with out the axels we will probably be selling #2.

Not yet, the first one did not have an engine or trans. The one we are picking up next week is complete.
