By the way, the patrol officer at the Seville post who handles inspections seems quite knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the hobby. Although there is an inspection of the completed car, they seem to concentrate more on the paperwork and documentation ensuring that parts are from a documented source. And don't be even a minute late for your inspection. | By the way, the patrol officer at the Seville post who handles inspections seems quite knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the hobby.

I have been told by the OSP via phone conversations the car is required to have fenders, windshield wipers with washers, seat belts, tail lights, headlights, turn signals, horn, and mufflers. The OSP officer states that fenders are many times removed by owners after inspection without comment from the OSP. | I have been told by the OSP via phone conversations the car is required to have fenders, windshield wipers with washers, seat belts, tail lights, headlights, turn signals, horn, and mufflers.

| + | To title a vehicle with no title you can go to the DMV and they will do a title search. If nothing comes up then there is a packet they will give you to complete. This includes a further national search to determine if the vehicle has been stolen. You then plead your case before a judge and he makes a determination. You take his judgment back to the DMV and they issue you a title for you vehicle in your name. This is a model year title that is the same as if you had an original that was transferred to you. I got a title for a '48 International this way. Total cost was about $40 (in 2008). I never even saw the judge, his assistant took my information to him and brought it back signed. I had a bill of sale from who I got the truck from and pictures of the truck to show the current condition(needing restoration). | ||
