PA title/registration

[Andheeezonit]

Great advice from Mr. Mustang. I also did not really want a special construction title for my Superformance build, but hit one wall after another. Just go with it and be happy, a good car will bring the money. On the plus side, with a SC title you can get a custom plate. I lucked out and got my first choice, GUMBALL.

What was it titled as already? I'm looking at a 2015 BDR in Kansas that's titled as a 2015 Backdraft RT3 Roadster. I'm hearing a few horror stories that make me nervous about buying any used Cobra from another state unless it's already registered as a 1965 Ford.... I'm interested to hear what you tried when bringing yours into PA and what challenges you had.
thanks,
Chris

Did they use the BDR supplied VIN, or is it a state issued VIN?
If state issued VIN, it gets titled as whatever the current title states.
If BDR VIN was used, you should be able to retitle in PA using the "Special Construction" process. The key is exactly (IE: 100%) how the current title reads.

Forget about titling as a "196X" in PA, it will not happen without throwing red flags up and you getting a visit by a PA State Trooper doing the investigation for the special titles division in Harrisburg.

I started with a Superformance MSO in PA and tried all kinds of creative ideas. I even talked to a couple of guys out of state who wanted to sell me old titles from various Fords. Didn’t feel good about that process. I tried the PA collectible title route and was shut down. My Father in Law has an enhanced PA inspection license station and I drove him nuts with my ideas. In the end I wish I would have just went with the special construction title in the first place and saved myself time and energy. Its painless.
