Mostly getting paperwork from California explaining why there is no year on the title, or worst case scenario (only once in over a dozen), having to send the title back to the seller and having him go to the MVS and get the title issued with a year on it...That in itself sometimes throws a wrench it the works, as California will then require more paperwork from the seller, and potentially another inspection from their state police dept. Or, a PA state police inspection. Now, with that said, if the car has a vintage title, or has already been titled in PA, then things run as they would with any other private party sale. Walk in to the notary with the title, fill out some paperwork, walk out with plates and registration and a title will arrive in the mail in 2-7 weeks.
Wish you the best with your search, sometimes the hunt is half the fun.
