20 years ago I lost out on a near-mint 1965 Lincoln Continental. It was in upstate NY near the border of Massachusetts. If found it by just passing by a local small NY car dealer on a day trip. It was a MA car and the seller picked it up in an estate sale years before. Back in the day (1960s) MA didn't require titles for cars, so all the seller had was the last 20-years past registration (circa 1975) or so. I lived in Maryland at the time, which is as bad as MA for car titling etc. I asked the seller to get a Massachusetts title before I'd buy it ($5,000). It took the seller 3 months to finally get a title and by that time I got cold feet.

Massachusetts is a PIA when it comes to cars.
