Title & Registration for out-of-state previously titled Cobra replica

[wezell]

Hi All

Thanks for the congrats. I'm trying to pay back for all the great info I've gotten on this site.

I went to the Plano office off of Park, just east of I-75. The supervisor who took care of things is Regina Whitely (call ahead to make sure she's there; normal clerks are a bit fuzzy on this procedure). Everyone was very nice and patient (it took two trips).

I think there are two reasons we have to go through a state safety inspection (yes, I thought a VTR-852 would suffice, too):
1) The VI-30 verified the serial number (among other things). The safety inspector made me show him my serial number on the frame, so I'm thinking the inspection ensures that you are not pulling a switcheroo of mismatched vehicle/title.
2) Inspection records are now electronic, so I think you have to be in the system to get a registration. They verified that I'd had the inspection from their terminal.
