If you plan on turning the shell into something you can legally drive then everything that would apply to a buying a car applies to the shell.

I would call the state office that handles registration and ask.

Title.. do I need it It helps, to make sure the car isn't stolen. If you don't have the title, it'd be a good idea to pull the VIN off the firewall and verify it isn't stolen.
State ref how do I know Not going to matter unless you're doing an engine swap.
Or anything else.
