Options for title/registration in Ohio without Cert. of Origin
I purchased the major components of a Classic Roadster Cobra kit (body & frame) and am well on the way to piecing the rest of the car together. I started researching the title process in Ohio, and it seems that I may be missing some of the necessary documentation, namely the Manufacturer Certificate of Origin. I do have a copy of the original invoice from Classic to the original buyer, but only a photocopy, not the original.
It turns out that I am the 4th owner of this "kit", but using the info on the original invoice, I was able to contact the original buyer. He says that he never received a Certificate or Origin from Classic because he only purchased stage 1 and 2, but lost interest in the project before buying the final stage of the kit. Since Classic is no longer around and there is no apparent way to get a Cert. of Origin, what options do I have for getting a VIN and title for this car? Since it was never a complete kit, can it somehow be classified as a random collection of individual parts, thus not needing a Cert. of Origin? Any advice or information is GREATLY appreciate. Thanks, Steve |
You can title it as a "self-assembled vehicle" - ODPS | BMV | Salvage & Self-Assembled Vehicle Inspections.
Where in OH are you? Pete |
I am in Marysville. About 35 miles North West of Columbus.
How does the self assembled vehicle process differ from a kit title process? I've built muscle cars before, but this is my first project without a VIN. |
