Ok, Is someone building a NB out of a CA donor car that with that registration current or recently not current? Meaning not salvaged, not junked. If so I would like to swap VIN tags. There is some $$$ in it.
Back story...
I drove my last car to the track, which i sold. My new car was an out of state SM that came with a salvage title. Registering it CA is a nightmare because it has a salvage title.
- Do a brake and light test with DMV. (which may or may not require me to put on OEM seat belts and re install the air bag system).
- Do check with the CHP where they verify the VIN numbers on the chassis, engine, diff, doors, fenders, hood, trunk and perhaps validate the OEM belts and air bag system
- Then SMOG.
I am not worried about the smog but given this is a race car (with verifiable / legitimate background) i don't have receipts for all the different body panels, motors, tranny, etc. Not that many who sell them even from the shops(RE, East Street, Robello) ever give you a receipt with a VIN number for a tranny or engine.
So, given 99% of SM go on a trailer and are never on the street, never registered, I would like to swap the dash VIN tag and registration thus to DMV it would look like i purchased a maita and would pay any registration back bills and handle smog. My VIN tags would be yours, not that you'll ever need them for a SM that is trailered to the track.
Help a SM racer out!
PM me if interested.
