I think a lot of this may vary from state to state. From what I've experienced in KS they only go by the sale date on the title or bill of sale. If you title it right away there are no fees or penalties to what the previous owner did with it. If you date the title then wait 10 years to title it they can go back 3 years and charge you for back taxes on it. They're pretty relaxed about it here. I think we're one of the few states you can still get an antique title with a bill of sale and a 50 state VIN search.
