Call your local DMV, or Sacramento, and ask how you would go about the process if you were building your own car from scratch- they will tell you, as they told me, to fill out the paperwork with your phone number as the VIN until CHP assigns you one.

You need not trust my words, but make a phone call before you write a reply in which you bash somebody’s credibility.

Please call Robert Morgester, he is very interested in meeting you to understand your thought process.

1) Advice he offers is free, so take it as you will.
2) There are possible ways that the DMV may transfer the title for you (I will look further into this).
3) As far as he is aware, the title follows ANY portion of the car to which it was assigned. This means that if you started the build process and got a number, the number follows those parts (he told me to check with DMV on this, and I will).
4) The transaction my friend was trying to offer posed no legal problems that he was aware of.


I greatly thank you for his information; it further solidified my knowledge of this process.


He also provided great advice for other ways to go about the registration process. If there are people out there that need information, I would highly recommend calling him; he is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the process.

As a side note, the original purchaser of the Ebay posted SB100 decided to finish his car this year, so he kept the number (though after speaking with Robert, I may be interested in getting rid of mine and going about the process in another way. While I’d hate for the last sentence to start another I know more about the process than you battle, I thought it was funny, so please take it as a joke).

Just to back up this statement, I've sent off a personal message to Mr Morgester asking him to check into your statement, your auction, and this thread here on Club Cobra. I'm sure if this new user is on the up and up, he won't mind me taking precautions before sending a friend in his direction.
