Were you registering it in VT for its initial title?

I ask because I am wondering about the potential difference (if any) between an initial title in VT or transferring a title from another state.

Do you have any additional insights?

Thanks again!

Brian,

If the car has already been titled in another state, Vermont will take the existing title and VIN at face value. If you are doing a first title and registration from a MSO, then VT is a very friendly and easy state to get this accomplished. Just call the DMV and have them send you the packet for the initial paperwork and follow it to the letter. Don't over think it and then get yourself wound up, forget about what one state or another outside of yours will do down the road.

PS: if the car is already titled, remember, the VIN is now in a national database, not just a state database. In other words, be wary of anyone who attempts to talk you in to VIN tampering.

I am thrilled to hear this. I live in VT. The car will be stored in VT. So, the car will be registered in VT.

Very good counsel. Though I can assure you, there will be no tampering of any kind with my car. Tinkering sure. But negative on the tampering. To me, that sounds like a recipe to turn my dream into a nightmare.

Again, Bill, thank you for the insights. Very much appreciated!

I went into the DMV in Montpelier and went up to the window with a mitt full of papers and the deer in the headlights look from the person behind the window was priceless. She said "what should we call it?" I said "1967 Ford Replica" That's what it's been for 17 years. I love this place!

Thanks, Tim.

I too love this place. That is why I want the whole registration process to go smooth!y. And I hope that I can look back at 17 years of enjoyment with my Cobra too.

I didn’t have a MSO, just a bill of sale. VT made it very simple. Getting insurance thru Hagerty was simple… a couple of pictures etc
