Most states will take another states title at face value. There are exceptions and often are due to valuation concerns (i.e. the "1965 Ford" $500 title that was used to register the car initially, etc.). Remember in most states it is all about the Benjamin's, they want ALL of the tax revenue they can get!
My ERA Cobra was first registered in Wisconsin, then registered by me in California - and I still have the original MSO, so they don't always take it.
