1928 Ford Model A hot rod underslung roadster pickup traditional 1950's rat rod

Up for sale is my Model A hot rod roadster pickup that is styled to look like a dry lakes car from the 50's It has a vintage Studebaker drive-train and an under-slung suspension. The front and rear axles are mounted above an inverted frame. This allows the car to sit nice and low without the ugly Z in the frame.

No title. Georgia does not issue titles for cars this old. Sold with a bill of sale and a current Georgia registration. Car is currently tagged and insured in Georgia. Here is a quote from an antique vehicle dealer located here in Georgia concerning titles:"1961 and older vehicles are not issued titles in the state of Georgia. 1985 and older vehicles may or may not have a title depending how they have been registered by the previous owner. All states in the USA will comply with your new registration as this is a state law (most states will re-issue you a title)"So it is my understanding that most states will re-issue a title if you have a Georgia registration. Check with your individual state.
