How to get a VIN number and title for your car

[@wayawolf1967]

I remember back in the late 70s having several 1965 Chevy pickups. We put the VIN tag on which ever one we wanted to drive. Pop rivets. Move the license tag and drive on. Being able to get from point A to point B is a right not a privilege. Most people dont even realize how much freedom we gave up when we allowed government agencies to control our means of transportation and the taxation of said transportation.

I'm pretty sure people, especially police, think I do this, because I have several vehicles the same make and model with the sane licence plates. I'm not doing what you're saying, but I agree with you.

Only draw back is the new vin would be like a “kit car” vin. As to a 67-68 vin would be worth more in the eyes to most people in the market. Well explained!

[@1194video]

Not to say your completely wrong but if it’s a kitt car it will say it is the year the vin is made such as 2023 but a new body of a 1967 mustang says 1967 Ford Mus on the title, it’s a complete duplicate to my Origional 1967 mustang not a kit car, if I were building a Shelby cobra then it would say 2023 cobra kit.

You can do the same thing with a home built trailer. Show proof of purchase on all materials and have an inspection done usually a Highway patrol officer does that. I don’t know if they will come to your house. I’ve always seen it taken to them. I can only speak to how it’s done in Utah though.

[@saneauto]

Ive done thousands of garage keepers liens. The closest thing Ive had to do to this, is on a trailer build I did. The procedure in North Georgia for VIN title and tag was almost exactly the same as you describe for your vehicle. This was easier and faster than the garage keepers liens.

[@stephencarr7173]

In California you would start with the DMV. They would demand you physically take the vehicle to the CHP for a "Blue Tag" (they don't do house calls). It would be difficult just to get through the first process of getting a "Special Construction" tag, but then you would probably have an even worse time with the second phase, or even an impossible time getting registration to drive the car on the street due to stringent EPA, DOT, and CARB restrictions. This would make the task not worth doing, because you may, or may not end up with a drivable vehicle. Maybe build it in Tennessee then sell it to a person in California, but only if it can be titled as a 1968 (?) Mustang, and not of the year built. If it were registered as a new car or year built, you could never get it past the smog referee.

[@mclark7389]

None of this is valid in California. According to my local CHP contact, without the original Ford VIN that would be considered a specialty built vehicle and stamping your own VIN on the car (or even refreshing an original VIN) considered a felony. Several years ago I needed a replacement title for a '65 Corvair and all it took was an inspection of the VIN tag by a clerk and all was OK. I recently purchased and brought back to California a '39 Ford out of Arizona that had a CA DMV tag riveted to the door post. The original VIN is stamped on the frame in the correct location under some paint and the car is obviously not a kit car. Local CHP insists on having DMV research the riveted tag and registering the car under the original VIN. They are understaffed and only work this kind of stuff two days a week. Five weeks now and still no return calls and no title/registration.

So nothing will be anything resembling anything made before. Also have a grillshell from 20s-30s that no one knows what it is.

[@1194video]

It’s the same concept except you have to tell the clerk the value of the car and they tax you on that. And you tell them it’s a home built and what your building then when the guy inspects it he will be the one to approve for title, be sure to register it early so the value is lower.

I don’t get it. What is the inspection for? Just to ensure it’s not a stolen vehicle and there’s no previous VIN? Looks like you’re passed without being complete yet. Just a body. Is it common to do that? To get a VIN and title to something that’s not a car yet?

[@georgethompson4736]

He did the process a little early but the inspection is be sure everything is legit

[@txdbstx8967]

Correct. To verify whether the vehicle is either OEM or shop built and to visually lay eyes on the vehicle that the owner is requesting a VIN and state issued title. On vehicles that are clearly OEM they want to look for original VIN on body and frame. If none are found they can issue a reassigned VIN. For vehicles that are verified as a shop built vehicle and not OEM, they will be assigned a new VIN and the title and registration will reflect as such. Shop built vehicles are NOT OEM vehicles and therefore their values will reflect that.

[@1194video]

They make sure it’s what you say it is and check to see if it’s all paid for parts and not stolen, the reason I did this before finishing the build is so it’s easier for them to inspect the car

If im building a car from scratch I'm picking my own vin number! It would be based on the models original vin so it makes sense. I don't care if its starts with a G for Georgia. Example G22F67FM G=Georgia, 22=2022 build date, F= Ford, 67= model year of body style, fm= fastback mustang, next would be the factory digit of the engine in it...ect. If ford used a 6 as a code for a super charged 302 in 2016 and I used the same engine that would be my next number and so on until I ended in my last two initials and 01. I would put my number in all the places there supposed to be, let the police run a check on my vin number then take everything to the dmv. If they don't like it the can put a sticker on the door jamb also but your not changing my vin number! No state tells any other manufacturers what vin numbers they will be issuing. If they try with you thats discriminatory with no basis to impose such a rule on you. Police check whatever vin is visible with a description to insure it is not a stolen, duplicate, or destroy vin number. If the number the check is clean they write the visible vin number on the paperwork and then the dmv cannot change that because that woud be fraud. Car, boat, trailer, lawn tractor, it doesnt matter. If the manufacturer /maker puts a vin number on it the state cannot change it. They can only assign you one if it doesn't exist. Pretend it's your child and give it a name/ vin number Sounds like you already have a good relationship with the inspector just tell him what your doing and why. You get past him the dmv will have to record whatever he witnesses as a existing vin number on his paperwork.

[@G.S.W.SewmesomeMusic]

@@1194video is there treatment for that?😂

[@M14Jeep]

A couple of points here. 1. A hot water heater does in fact heat up hot water. A tankless water heater, heats up cold water to be hot but a traditional tanked hot water heater maintains water at a certain temperature, So it is heating up hot water into hotter water. The only time it would be incorrect to call it a hot water heater is the very first time you turn it on since it would be heating up cold water. It would be grammatically correct to call tankless and instant water heaters "cold water heaters" and tanked water heaters "hot water heaters." 2. "Vin" is the name of the number. When somebody says Vin number they are referring to the number "Vin" they're not referring to the abbreviation for "vehicle identification number" which would be spelled "V.I.N." If the person said give me the "V" "I" "N" then they would be audibly abbreviating "vehicle identification number" and it would be grammatically incorrect to add the word number after that. But when somebody says "Vin" number they're not asking for the vehicle identification number number they're asking for the number named "Vin".

​@@1194videoyes the car was built using all brand new reproduction sheetmetal. And yes it does look like a 67 or whatever Mustang. But because this car was not built by Ford, in their factories in 1967, with a Ford issued Vin number. It cannot therefore be titled as a Ford.

[@carpespasm]

@@ericpetz5831 Dunno what to tell you, he mentioned in another comment that he's already received the title paperwork and they wrote it up as a 68 ford mustang. They've got to put something on the manufacturer line and it's technically a home-build, but they decided it's a 68 ford for their purposes, so there you go. Since the VIN they issue is gonna be a TN-xxxxxx number it's not like it's counterfeiting an original ford or anything.

[@ericpetz5831]

@@carpespasm read my comment again. Yes the DMV issued a state of Tennessee vin number, which they do for any homebuilt car, bike, trailer, hotrod/custom built vehicle etc. And yes it may say 68 Ford Mustang on it. But because this is technically a home/custom built vehicle, with it's a repop body and everything else being aftermarket (aka new build). The title will more than likely have the body manufacturers name on it as well. So on a new build, with a aftermarket built body. And let's say said body was built by Dynacorn. Then the state issued title will probably say something like Dynacorn 68 Ford Mustang, on it, or something similar. To differentiate the repop Mustang, from the Original Mustang.
