ok so here is the deal. When i bought the car from the previous owner, he had bought it from the other previous owner before him and he never signed it in his name. So i bought it and he gave me the title but it is in the guys name who owned it two people before me. but the back is signed over. well the people at the registration place was telling me that i have to get the guy who i bought it from to sign it in his name and then sign it over to me. but that guy lives in alabama and i live in texas. also the car has no vin number that i can find. im assuming someone who owned it down the line built the frame so there is no number. so the lady said i could also go to the Tx department of transportation and get assigned a new vin number. but they said that if i do that then it would be registered as a car made in 2009, which means that i would have to pass emissions and everything else that new cars have to pass. so i dont want to have to go through all that. i want to get this title in my name. what should i do? and how do i get a number put on the car?
