Re: title problem
How come nobody wants to mention the name(s) of these different ladies involved?
So on a scratch built car, nothing original, do you really have to have a bonded title if the components are all new and have never been on an original? |

Lincoln is almost dead center in the state about 30 miles north of Springfield . I went to a cruise in last nite about 50 cars showed up,by the end of the evening I ran into 3 people the state had targeted, one who had just gotten his title after 6 months of bonding procedure and a cost of $2000.00 The other 2 already had 2months into it and each had spent close to $1000.00 with no end in sight . Plus they pull your tags and registration during the bonding process which means during that time the car has to just sit ,for however many months it takes . The new owner will be picking mine up tomorrow ,State 1 me 0 ..... |

Re: title problem
If it's a daily driver maybe it should be inspected? If it's a car that will hardly see 1500 miles in a year maybe not.

Re: title problem
I personally watched a "State Official" (woman) inspect a car that is being built. The car in question is a 1 800 Street Rod. Not one dam thing original. The owner of the build decided to be up front and have the state involved from the get go. The car set there in nothing but gelcoat, fully assembled ready to be taken apart for paint. Oh, there was one thing original the tilte being used for the car........So the owner stamped numbers on the new repo chassis and tagged the new fiberglass with a plate. The state person looked at the old title matched the numbers.........no problem.???????? What isn't this what this is all about .....All she wanted to see was a receipt for the new LS1. I was amazed at that's all there was. I am not sure if she ever realized that the chassis and body were even reproduction. She didn't seem to know what she was looking at from the questions she was asking. She even thougth the car was in pretty good shape for its age...... I was in fact there and witnessed this........We all just scatched our heads in wonder. We are waiting for the next shoe to drop.........

Re: title problem
I had a friend who had to take his full custom '50 Merc in to the CHP for number verification. Radical car. Chopped Carson top. Chevy crate motor. Etc. Etc, Etc. The female CHP officer was giving him grief saying that was not a 1950 Merc. Of course she was in her 20's and had probably never seen a 1950 Merc. The CHP station commander happened to walk by, admired the car and said "That a beautiful '50 Merc". She shut up and verified his number.

http://www.dmv.state.pa.us/pdotforms/mv_forms/mv-11.pdf I have a '31 A that I bought with a PA title that had been a transfer from an Ohio tilte. I bought it at Carlisle and it could only be registered there as a regular car because that's all the title service could do. Once I got it home, I had to re-register it as a streetod because the windshield had been chopped below 9" in height. I took the title I had, receipts, photos,etc to my State Representative (you MUST do this!) who ran it through PennDot for me. In the end, PA vacated my original title and issued me a new title and a new VIN plate as well as streetrod tags. So now, my title matches my VIN tag and there are no original Henry #'s on the car that are visible. I know this is an antique site-just my experience with PennDot. |

Re: title problem
Heres an interesting update .Just had a friend call and tell me he bought a Harley a couple months ago with a clear current Louisianna title . Illinois told him that is a flood ,hurricain state and he will need to provide proof that the bike was never involved in a flood ,if he cant provide proof to them he will have to reapply (pay all fees again) and will be issued a FLOOD Vehical title ,which as you know is just as bad as a slavage title . Which will greatly reduce the value of the bike . So I guess we can add that to the list of things Illinois is now doing ..

Re: title problem
Nebraska is not that greedy yet. Right now they are persuing lost sales tax when a car is bought and then quickly resold and the guy in the middle did not pay the sales tax for the purchase, which reminds me I need to head top the courthouse soon to pay the sales tax on the delivery now that I have a title. I do not want to be the one they make an example out of with a $1000 fine plus the actual tax and interest. Rod

Re: title problem
It looks like the original intent may have been good, BUT somewhere along the line it became a nightmare. Which is typical when the government gets involved. We have just been reading an interesting Civics lesson. The problem is MOST people don't care! They buy new cars, from a dealer (who we all know are honest and would never lie) so they never have a problem. The sad part is that this is going to spread, if one state won't accept another state's title them that state won't accept theirs!
Seriously, this is going to snowball, until all them "Clunkers" we own are off the road! Of course a new Toyota that has acceleration problems is okay. It's a sad state of affairs we find ourselves. LouB. |
