Re: Titling a body in California
I don't think you can get a title for just the body.

Re: Titling a body in California
Calif requires a "vin" number. They will accept a frame or engine number upon a physical verification . AAA insurance that has a DMV station is your best friend in Calif.

Re: Titling a body in California
We just had a Coupe verified that had been out of the DMV system for 40+ years.
Got paperwork from DMV.... had a CHP come by the house and verify the number under the cab on the frame. He was there less than 5 minutes. Then paperwork back to DMV. I see no way to title just a body. Just my opinion. Gil. NoCal |

Re: Titling a body in California
That is not a serial number used on the title.

Re: Titling a body in California
In California after you have picked up the proper DMV paperwork
just stop by the DMV office and they make a appointment for a officer to meet you where the car is. In our case the car was at the house. Officer arrived promptly on time. Gil. NoCal |

Re: Titling a body in California
California won’t just register a body any way, they want to see a whole car.
California also won’t go off of an engine number anymore as too many engines have been changed over time to make it an accurate way registering a car. They need a proper VIN number. If there is no VIN they will take receipts for all your parts that make up a complete car and CHP will issue their own VIN for the car called a “CA” tag. |

Re: Titling a body in California
I said that in the context of serial number discussion. You know that.

Re: Titling a body in California
It doesn't work that way in the big city. You have to take the vehicle to them here.
