Thanks guys, you've been a big help on this.

Bill, the owner did sign the title but no purchaser info has been filled in so I think I'll do as you suggest on that one

I still can't believe (thou its become obvious its true) that I have to friggin load up the damn car and haul it to the tax collectors office. It's not far from my house so maybe I'll just drive I guess. The guy did say that any dealer or police officer could sign the vin form. Any car dealers or cops want to ride in a cool car?
