Texas Title, Registration and Emissions Questions

[madmaxx]

I just emailed you the documents. It is easy to get your insurance to say 1965 also, they write whatever you want. In reality that is all you need for inspection, when the inspection station asks for your insurance card not your title but for resale value get the title correct with 1965 replica under remarks.

What other states do or do not do is irrevalent. I used the courthouse off 225 in pasadena, they checked every receipt and had the tax book out for 20 minutes came out and said that will be $105. I had all my paperwork, receipts and the car described the same on all forms expect I tried to bs them to title as 1965 which they nicely crossed out and wrote 2008 but wrote 1965 replcia under remarks. Antoher courthouse wanted me to get a chassis number the stupid fuks did not realize the MSO specified the chassis number. Instead of educating the dumb a$$$ i went to a courthouse I knew had done it before.

I got them thanks. They match what the Gestapo sent me today. I have no problem taking the assembled vehicle route, though the footnote about it being a '65 Cobra replica was the debate that left me concerned. The idiots at the DMV said that even with that footnote, it would have to pass emissions if it were assembled in 2008. But to your point, the plan seems to be about getting insurance as a '65 first, then getting it safety-only inspected a '65 using the insurance card. That would seem to once and for all solve the emission issue. Then I apply for an AV title and make sure my docs are in order.
