Been sitting out for years. The '70-'74's with round rear wheel openings are considered the best of the breed. Good body. Possible candidate for a swap?

California. Lost tittle. Yes it’s a parts car.
Only worth while if you can get a tittle. I forget all the pain I had to endure last time I did that. It’s not just get a duplicate.
This looks sketchy but I thought I would drop it here.... https://northmiss.craigslist.org/tro/d/corinth-lost-title-if-you-own-it-can/6771750412.html

SC is no better with titles. I guess I didn't see that little tidbit.
I bought my Spitfire in Baltimore, car had been in the garage since 1980. Seller could not find the title, but after I got the car home, a few weeks later I found the original title from 1972 from the first owner, signed but not transferred to the 2nd owner. So getting a new title was pretty easy. So technically I am the 2nd owner of the car! With many of these old restorations, you can often get a titled parts car and there are very few matching number MG midgets running around since these things are 40-50 years old now, so most them are a combination of multiple cars put together anyway. Anyone know the "official" legal requirements to use a body shell from a different car to restore a car with a good title? If the floorboards are not rotted out, this is a desirable split bumper MG Midget.

You need to be extremely careful about bitsa cars. I realize that you are correct about how “vintage” cars are often put together.
However my best friend lost a whole MGA he restored when one small part ( a license bracket ) was identified and proven to be off a stolen car.
Even with a receipt for the various parts purchased at a garage sale, the police confiscated the whole car and turned it over.
He felt lucky only losing a years work and not in Jail.
