Registration in SC. What do I need? Where to go?

[nymathboy]

I believe I have finally finished my MKI Factory Five.

I did a search but found only old posts. Can someone please give me a list of what do I need to get the ball rolling so that my car can start rolling on the road?

First , congratulations on finishing your car !!
As of last summer , not difficult at all , unless it has changed ... just takes some time . You have to have your insurance in place first and also your Certificate of Origin from the manufacturer . Fill out form 400 , Application for Certificate of Title and Registration for Motor Vehicles or Manufactured Home/Mobile Home and check the New Title and Registration box .You also need form 4038... Affidavit of Rebuilt or Homemade Vehicle and a copy of the receipts for the basic kit and the options . I stated it was for a 1965 Cobra replica . Back then , it cost $15 for Title fee , $300 for taxes and I paid $20 for an expedite fee and sent everything to the SCDMV in Blythewood . Two weeks later , received my title and went to the County office and paid the local taxes ... about $25 and then to DMV for the tag. My title from SC says ERA757 , year is 1965 and model is ERA 427 . The local DMV office will be no help at all and don`t even think about going to the local County office for taxation before you have your title . No inspection was required .
You can get all the forms you need off the DMV site along with the procedures .

Have fun ,
Bob

Thank you!

When does the DMV put the VIN number on your car?

The reason why I ask is because my car is in NC for the moment and I need to haul it down here. I don't have a truck and UHaul gives me 3 days with their truck. I would like to trailer it down here and put the VIN number on it within the time frame that I have the UHaul truck.

Sorry for getting back to you so late but I work from 6am til 9 pm at night.

Hindsight being 20/20 I should have held onto my Suburban a little longer.
