You can get just about any year and make you want. I bought a 1923 Ford title for my bucket. Take it to the DMV and turn it in and get a Texas title in your name, just like you would if you had bought any car with an out-of-state title. You will have to declare how much you paid for the "car" you bought and pay the sales tax. I paid $125 for the old title and so that's what I said. I wouldn't venture the fact that all you bought was a title. I honestly don't know if this is exactly legal, but it is a common practice. | ||

Per the law, your antique car is only to be driven to/from a show, or to have work done. But I've never been stopped in 15 years, and you could always say you were going for an oil change or alignment, etc. | ||
