Seems like this thread has taken off in two directions--I'll try to address your paperwork problem--but first, are you the same Bob in the Albany area that has been corresponding with me for fenders? Nice looking car, folks. Paperwork--you could try a different DMV office (I'm a NY'er also and have found quite different attitudes office to office). Another approach would be to put a lien on the car for storage--you'd have to fudge as far as length of time--and the process would entail hiring a licensed auctioneer to advertise the sale and conduct it. This is a common approach and will cost a few hundred dollars. New York didn't become a title state till 1973 so the registration for the plates was also the proof of ownership (and still will be)--any chance the old plates are on the car? There are private agencies in Albany that expedite DMV paperwork--might be worth a call. Another approach--and I can't explain exactly how this works but the fact that the car came from Maine might be an advantage--I had an aquaintance a few years ago who often bought old, interesting imported cars from yards and barns--they rarely came with paperwork. Maine plates can be obtained easily - apparently - and then transfered to a NY ownership. Hope this helps -- oh, and by the way-- I used lowered stock springs, 25mm bar in front --lowered station wagon springs with adapted 240 rear bar and Koni's all around on my Time Trial 1969 144S--worked super for the street and acceptable (some lean) on the track.
