Titles and inspections

[slngsht]

Here's what I have found so far on titling...

 

 

 

There seem to be companies that would title your car, but in trying to reach these companies, alot of them seem to not be in business anymore.

 

 

 

My car was never registered, has no chassis plates, etc... it was just in the inventory of the old Rotus company all these years.

 

 

 

So, seems like the real choice for me is to just register the car as a '79 model, which makes me subject to emissions testing, eventhough my engine is from a '63.

 

 

 

In Maryland, emissions tests are performed every 2 years. My understanding is that if you don't pass, you can show you've done a max of $xxx (i think about $400) in repairs, and you're good for another 2 years.

 

 

 

I'm still checking my options, and trying to get a hold of other title companies...

Hi Mazda, How about registering it as something else? I have been offered two Lotus identities recently, there must be something available in your area. Some states seem to allow registration as, say a 1965 Lotus, since that is what it resembles, can you use that? bureacrats just need a piece of paper to hang their acceptance on-give them one!

How much was it for a lotus title?
