Default Re: Title for car where engines are swapped

50Trucking, I think you are going to be OK with this car. I live in Florida and wanted to purchase a Model A that had a title that was from another state and a title number that did not match the engine that was in the car. The owner had passed away. What he had done was move the car from another state where the car was restored, engine changed, but continued to renew the old registration by just sending the paperwork back to the DMV with payment. Therefore, I am purchasing a car where the paper work does not match the car I am purchasing! Florida has form that reflects a problem with the VIN, that the car has been inspected by a Florida DMV agent and he certifies that the car is as described by make, model and color and that the seller has been checked out and found to be correct. The agent actually goes to the location where the car is garaged. Go to the DMV and talk with them and get this form filled out, and arrange to have the car inspected. Good luck, Ed
