<VV> Title is the hard part - keys are relatively easy??

Yes, check the databases for as many states as you can, since there have
been several stolen cards returned to their owners after as much as 28
years, in the case of this '67 Mustang that was stolen in 19986 and returned
last week after 28 years, and the owner still had the vanity plates when she
got it back.

if the prior "owner" had any money invested, the rightful owner gets the
benefit of it all!

A few months ago, a guy got his 1964 T-bird back, that the prior "owner"
spent a lot of money restoring, but the real owner got it all.

If you miss the state where it was stolen, it could happen to you, but I
hope your New Year starts better than that!

The keys are relatively easy, since lots of guys in Corsa have complete sets
that I'm sure will be available,=?

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?
