Recent registration ???

I was told by Carson City that the only inspection required would be a VIN Inspection. I specifically asked about a safety inspection and he said that one was not required. Having a MSO or previous title made a safety inspection unnecessary. If you look on their site for what is required, they never say anything about a safety inspection. I even talked with an Inspector Supervisor from the Sahara Office and he said that no safety inspection was required. He did try to tell me that the car would have to meet the smog requirements of whatever year the engine is. He obviously did not know about the "Replica Law" or how it is applied. There are three things to consider here, VIN Inspection, Emissions and Registration. Two docs come out of this, a title and a registration. The title only requires the VIN Inspection. Registration requires a title/MSO, an invoice/receipt and emissions test (if required). Filing form RD-237 negates the emissions requirement. At the Sahara office, the emissions and VIN Inspection are combined, so those guys seem to be acting as one in the same and assuming that both are required. They do not know and are not required to know about RD-237. The real problem is that many of the Registration people don't know about it either, so you have to keep pushing.

If only 100 total (not per year) is the real deal, this is a problem. I will have to talk to some people to get that corrected after I get mine done. I asked the guy in Carson City about that and he said it was per year, nothing referring to anything other than was was written in Law.
