So as a foreigner (Australian) the DMV in the US is a scary and confusing place, although I'm told you don't need to be a foreigner for that to be the case.

I recently got my y block powered 1963 Mercury Comet home, and want to register it with the CT DMV, though like I imagine is the case for a lot of old cars, the paperwork isn't exactly what they request.

I have:
1. My CT driver's licence and insurance.
2. A Maryland title. Person A named on the title signed the back of it as the seller in 2009, leaving the buyer's details blank. I'm reading that this means it's an "open title" which the DMV does not like.
3. A Bill of sale signed by Person B, who sold me the car.
4. MD Registration slips in the name of person C, the original owner of the car dating from 1981 - 1987.
5. The original Bill of sale from when the car was bought new in 1963.

Now:
A) I could just take in what I have and be up front about it - incurring whatever wrath the DMV lady hurls at me.
B) I could sign the back of the title, but then it looks like the I bought the car 5 years ago and never changed over title - which could be a problem.
C) I could front the bill of sale and state that the car has been off the road for several years, which is true (but neglect to mention the open title) but then I have no registration...

Just wondering what you guys with experience with the DMV and old cars would suggest... man the US makes registering cars complicated...
