Could you go after the guy that has the same VIN as you? Just a thought if your numbers are on the motor, he would be the one that is committing fraud. I think that the body even came from Missouri, via Pork&Beaner. Chris Nelson Kansas
Man if I was you, I would try to title it in Mississippi. I'm told that they will accept something wrote on a tortilla as a title. Arkansas isn't too bad either. Good luck man.
ask if texas has a "vin number identification form" that allows you to have a notary (i.e., friend who's a notorary) check the number outside of the DMV's control, get them to approve a number that show's it's pre 54 or whatever, then bring that in for a title?
I hate to say it but the wife would probably sell my dog for B-Luvs Bikinis. Hey at least I have a way to get her to the shows!!!!! TG
Didn't read all the posts, so this may be a duplicate. Had a friend (ahem) with the same problem. He bought a NY registration card for a 192.... from a guy here on the HAMB. (He has hundreds from an old junk yard that closed) I think it was $125, some years are more. It came with the registration, a letter form NY DMV that quoted their law that pre 1974 vehicles didn't have titles, just registration. Also came with a blank "body number " tag, (that he later had a trophy shop engrave with the number from the title. ) Went to DMV and asked for "title transfer only, no plates" Took 5 minutes, no questions asked. 10 days later the texas title came in the mail. Went in and bought plates. End of story.
Man, its starting to sound like Sweden, i thought we were the best at bureaucracy, but i guess you guys are catching up! We have to get inspection and emmision every year for 30y/o and newer, every other year 1951-30y/o, and just once for 1950 and older! And they have paperwork stored from the dawn of the automobile, but there are some loopholes left and ways around it! But its a consistant Bureaucracy and the same everywere so its easier to learn the rules!
...you forgot that you dont have to know your role... AT ALL! I have NO idea how some of these ass-bags get their jobs. You have to spend half a day jumping through hoops because someone not smart enough to make a sandwhich doesnt know their job.
While you'll are on the subject of the Texas DMV have any of you'll had to deal with the new "Liarers Act" (Really ! this is what the lady at the DMV called it ) Now when you buy a used car or motor cycle you have to pay tax on the blue book value. So let's say your dear old auntie sells you her 1980 Chevy For $500.00 dollars . You have to pay taxes on the blue book value ! Case in point : I bought a 1984 Moto Guzzi for $2700.00 dollars but when I got to the DMV to change the title they charged me tax on $3400.00 dollars because that is the blue book value. I had a receipt from the motor cycle shop where I bought it but it made no difference ! They told me it was because all the undocumented people in our fine state are buying cars and trucks and then when they would go to pay taxes they would tell the DMV that they only paid $5.00 dollars for the car and then this is all they had to pay taxes on.
