Thats pretty cool, but I would be leery of an M110 with that kind of miles on

It's less expensive, has fewer miles, says it has 20 years of records and
is well cared for, and it's not modified.
I posted the YouTube video link earlier. Basically all you need is a bill of
sale, then you pay Vermont tax based on the book value, they issue you a
registration and a license plate. You take that to your DMV, get you state
