The other states are onto this game and they want their tax money. Remember tax is to the state like heroin to an addict; they will do ANYTHING to get it!

And if you have an accident your insurance company may deny the claim based on fraud; the car was not domiciled in the state the accident took place, i.e. the "garaging location" was an address in Montana when in fact the car had never physically been in Montana. We had a customer who looked at a Shelby in California that had Montana reg/title. He took copies of the MT. paperwork to a friend at the New York DMV who told him "run, don't walk from this because we will come after you!"

Some of the older members here will remember "Morgester" who turned out to be the California Attorney General who located many people who had fraudulently registered cars in CA with out of state titles in the pre-SB100 days. They got visits from the CHP so talking about a "tax avoidance" scheme on CC is likely not a good idea. The state people are not stupid and I know some of the NY DMV people monitor sites such as this.

Your results may vary.................

All good input.

To be clear I AM NOT ADVERTISING A TAX FRAUD SCHEME - those are your words.

The Montana process, Florida, Delaware are well know advertised legitimate registration processes. Yes, I am aware of the articles from a few years back. And no doubt there are concerns...like with anything. Heck there likely will be a concern one day that replicas registered as 1965 while legitimate could be viewed as fraud as they are not really 1965 built.
