CA/NV Registration options

[HowardV]

Hoppy, you lucky dog! I called DMV earlier today and asked if I could get a temp until next year - if I buy a used Cobra that's already registered in another state (as a 2001 Specialty Built Vehicle, not a 60's) - and they told me "No way in hell"! It took about an hours hold time, three transfers to various departments, and a direct long distance call to Sacramento to get this answer. They said they are short staffed (yet, they have enough staff to go after enthusiasts).

My NV corporation theory is shot to hell since I'm getting a loan - basically it has to be in my name (ya, small details I didn't originally think about).

Here is the problem: The car I want is for sale here at the right price. I have the check from the bank in hand. I don't think I can buy it and sit on it, the bank wants the title and copy of valid registration. And frankly, I don't want to sit on it for 8 months.

I'll be going to the Knotts show this weekend to see and speak to other owners on their thoughts.
