Any recommendations before I buy?
Hello fellow enthusiasts. I've been looking for a project for some time and have come across a running, titled, 1st owner FFR replica near me. There is just enough left to do for me to put some personal touches on it. It's priced close to what a complete kit lists for currently but includes the drive train, wheels and tires. He has all the documentation. I know I need to look at specific options, build quality, etc. but are there some other things I should consider before making an offer? Any questions to ask regarding the paperwork? Thanks in advance for your collective wisdom.

I obviously posted this in the wrong spot. If an admin happens across this and can delete please do so. I didn't see that as an option anywhere.

What version FFR is it ? FFR like many of the manufactures continue to tweak and improve on the product.

As a general rule, the more money you spend the better the end product will be.:cool:

Is the titled car in your state?
Your bio shows NC. NCDMV has "special construction" and "replica" catagories when submitting for a title. It also looks like it will require a vehicle inspection. Just be sure you know the DMV rules before buying so it's not hung up in some paperwork nightmare. |
Go with a running completed car, that is a quality manufacturer that is still in business.
I an incomplete kit, go with the above plus make sure the MSO and all parts have receipts that your DMV will accept as proof that the parts were not stolen. One questionable part and they may go over everything with a fine tooth comb. |

How can you title an incomplete kit? I know of no DMV that will let you haul in a pile of parts on a trailer and give you a title...

The car was running, inspected and titled in TN. It has been partially disassembled for paint. He has the MCO and it is titled as follows -
Year: 1965 Make: COBR Model: ROA Body Type: 2D It also list Previous Title NO: MSO I've spoken with NC DMV Tag Office and the License and Theft Bureau. I've talked with a few different people and have received at least that many different answers. It may be as simple as having it titled in my name and having the VIN inspected to having two appraisals of the car, posting a bond for the title and having a new VIN assigned. Hopefully the people I work with are in a good mood that day. |
