If it has been sitting for 29 years without having been  registered, you 
are probably in luck .... probably.  Every state is  different and you need to 
check but as far as I know, the last registration  record has probably 
disappeared from the state's data base.  You can probably just go and 
title/register it.   You will probably need to bring the car in so they can verify the 
VIN.  Do  not show the old registration but you may be required to show a 
receipt with a  purchase amount on it.  Did you get one?
 
Now the possible bad news.  If the car had been stolen  back when, record 
of its theft may still be in the data base.  You will  have no criminal 
liability but the "powers that be" will impound the car and you  will be out 
whatever time, money and effort you have invested.  That is,  unless you can go 
after the seller to reimburse the sale price.  If you  have installed any 
parts of value, remove them before you go to register the  car.  They will not 
allow you to dismantle anything once they discover it  is stolen.  There 
are horror stories of fully restored cars being returned  to the original 
owner with the "dupe" having invested tens of thousands of  dollars.  The dupe 
suffers and the original owner enjoys a  windfall.
 
Good luck,
 
Doc

I bought a 65 monza 14 months ago on ebay  from a guy who had it in his 
garage for 29 years or more. He towed it to my  house abd after he drove away. 
I  discovered no keys. He wasnt the owner  on the registration, and no 
title.(I didnt discover that until just recently  whenI started working on the 
car)BOY AM I STUPID. The original owner is dead.  The dealer is out of 
business Alk I have is a signed registration from  1975.ANY THOUGHTS? Anybody wanna 
sell me a  bridge?
