sf-97 or title in alabama

[jarrettpcfr]

I won a bid on gl, submitted my euc and im still waiting for approvall. it went to battle creek on jan 26 2010. i wanted to know if anybody knew if alabama requires a title or a sf-97 on a 1984 m1028 cucv or just a bill of sale with all of the correct information. i heard alot of horror stories about gl and "correct" information. i hope i don't get a fine from my state while i wait on paperwork.

On a 1984 you will need the SF-97. Anything before 1976 (I think) can be registered with a BOS.

I just went through this in Alabama. I have one of the GL horror stories. Was sent someone else's title which meant my title went to someone in Ohio. Still working to correct but don't really need the title to register as mine is a 1971. Wreckerman is correct. Alabama started titling vehicles after 1975. Before 1975, you only need a bill of sale. 1984 will need an SF-97.

Even in cases where you don't need a title, you are much better off getting a title as the vehicle is often worth more if you sell it with a title.
