Certificate of Origin - it's the document the state uses to issue a title. It's like a birth certificate.

I would say that is a great piece to keep with the car, value is unknown, but it adds to the story.

Where did you find it?

Found it in the hatch compartment, along with an invoice of the original owner and purchase price. Shows the guy traded in a 82 t-bird

I would keep it for sure. That is the one and only piece of paper that allows a vehicle to be registered for the very first time. Usually motor vehicle branches end up keeping those....nice find!

I know that dealer! I used to live about 20 miles from Griffin, GA. Where do you live or where did you buy the car?

Small World indeed. I do not know any of the staff at Cronic but lived in Fayetteville during the 90's. I bought my 91 TA from Hennesey while living up in the Atlanta area. Now the car is in Florida with me enjoying the convertible weather here 26 years later!

Re: Possible original car title?

you can use it to track down the original owner which would be cool. Thats what I did.
