I took my 914 into the California DMV to get a VIN verification on it, since it did have a title and is out of the DMV system. They refused to inspect it, saying it must be a 'complete car'. Now it didn't have an engine, trans, doors or hoods or seats or a dash, but the VIN isn't on any of those parts, and the reg 31 form has a checkbox for 'missing' on the engine and odometer.
This really had me angry. I know there are 3rd party licensed VIN verification people, will they give me the same dismissal? Join AAA and have them to do it? Any other ideas? Get Nevada title first and then xfter to CA? |

Heads up that the CHP will likely tell you the same thing: No complete car = no inspection.
This happened to me last year. I had the CHP inspect my '75 roller just a few months before so when I towed a '72 roller there for the same thing, the officer who did my '75 said there were recent rule changes and it's a complete car or no go. This was in NCAL but I gotta believe it's CA wide. |

BTW, most all storage places require A TITLE to store a vehicle, so without a title storage options significantly reduced. |
