Registering in Illinois

A little info on what is happening down state and it may give you an insite . A number of state DMV employees where transferred down state at the height of the licence for bribes mess . The States Attorney knew that these people where in on this but it would be to costly to prosecute them one at a time , so they thought if they transvered them to Springfield from Chicago they would Quit , problem solved. Well they wanted there pensions so they moved to Springfield . Now Jesse White did not want them either so they are caught in the middle . Now at the same time a real debacle story broke out from a three year investigation of stolen Kit Cars , false title information ,under valuations ect. being used by owners in New York , Connecticut and New Jersey . This lead to criminal charges with Currency exchanges owner going to jail and a Warning report was sent out to other states as to" Kit Cars" where the problem . Start to see the picture here DMV employees with there jobs in danger and combined with this Report know one wants to touch them at the Springfield office.
Yes a number of Kit Car owners where cheating on taxes , gave false registration info. and they got caught ;and this long buck passing tap dance program at present is the resolt. I gave testimony and was interviewed by all three states DMV lawyers by phone and spent 11,000 dollars, 9 trips into Daily Center in court proceedings had to post a bond , over that three year time span. As it turned out my Cobra was involved in a floor plan deception by a dealer in Connecticut . Four Cobras where impounded in New York . This is what lead to the investigation in to Kit Cars . I seen Cobras registrated as 65 Fairlanes , Customized Mustangs and 60,000 dollar Kits with 5000 dollar valuations used for taxing. Yes cheaters ruined it for everyone not the the DMV,s .

Hey Arno, I have a Shell Valley that I bought from them in 01 and finally thought it was road worthy in early 06. Looked at the "procedure" on line and my first thing to do was get a guy from the National Street Rod Association
to check it out and fill out a check list that it is built correctly and everything functions. I passed everything besides being scared. Then I took every paper I had(must be original so make copys for yourself) -And hand them to someone who you hope knows whats going on. Then in 07 I got my title.
I hope you run into the right person who knows how to do it properly.
I thought is was going to a big pain but as I said it went pretty smooth.
You'll be fine, man

Russ, did you know about the sales tax in 2001 and did you pay it then, or did you resolve it in 2007?
