I'm in CA so this may or may not help.
1) you need to find the previous owner - maybe a person, or a government, =
at least who they are. If you absolutely CAN'T identify such an owner, =
then MAYBE it is "Found property" - but I doubt it. If it is really a =
M151a1, then at least one of the previous owners was the good 'ol gov't. =
Assuming it was bought from the Gov't at some point, then they would have =
(probably) issued a SF97, which would have been the gov'ts version of a =
bill of sale. You NEED this document. Alternatively, if someone else had =
purchased, it, THEY (whether they titled it or not) would have been given =
the Bill of Sale (SF97). In that case, you have to track down all the =
"somebodys" until you get to the bill of sale, and obtain it.
2) It MAY be possible (and may not, too) to do this based on affadavits =
from the people you got the vehicle from stating the circumstances of how =
it came into their hands, and into your hands. This well might take a =
magistrate of judge to bless. The DMV certainly won't tackle it - they =
don't pay those guys enough to stick their necks out that far. Once a =
judge says the vehicle is yours, IT IS. Then you can get the DMV issued =
title.
Don't know if this helps or not. Good luck!

While looking for a M-37 to buy, I came across a nice M-151a1--but it
doesn't have a title. Does anyone have experience obtaining a title in
Virginia? How difficult is it to obtain one? Does anyone know of any =
way
to title this awesome little creature? Is there any hope?
Any feedback would be appreciated.
