Mark, It is Titled, registered and insured here in Oklahoma as a 1933 Ford Victoria not a kit car or specially constructed. Title will transfer in any state or country with out any problems
That won't happen in Mass., it will have to be inspected and if it doesn't have an Original Ford frame, it will get re-titled as an assembled vehicle. And then be subject to all the new regulations.Quote:

Real Nice Job, Mr. Don, how's it powered?
Thanks Don for the reply as I have often wondered how difficult it was to purchase cars from across states. Obviously there is still some Eastern States that make things a bit more difficult.
Don't open mouth and insert foot 34-40 It has a original vin on it and it will pass. Just sold a 33 Glass Willys to a guy in Boston with the same paperwork and he had no problem.Quote:

Nope, no foot! I never said the one didn't have an original frame! And like CA., when he goes for his inspection sticker (safety) they'll compare and if it isn't right, they'll snag him.. unless he has a friend who has an inspection station.Quote:

And Mass wants the dollars from the fines ! Come over here and ask all the Model A club members who can't register their restored cars with non- original frames!
I live here and for every guy who gets through the cracks theres 10 who are stuck! You want some ketchup for your boots!?!?!

That's funny.. I figured I'm just a mirror, right back at ya!
I registered mine here 2 years ago.. I jumped through all the hurdles they put me through.. maybe you should teach'em about this book! It only sets the minimum! States can all have stricter laws than federal. But i'm certain you already knew that.
The car turned out great. Nice turn around time too sir!
Don,
You have probably done more vehicles than any of us, so I'm not arguing. However, I've registered street rods in Nebraska, Virginia and Texas, and helped friends and Illinois and Kansas. I can say from personal experience that all states are not the same. All meet the minimum federal regulations, but most states add little twists of their own. Roger Spears' experience in Kansas was significantly different from mine in Virginia. Texas was different also. I had a friend who had a T-bucket registered in MO as a 23 T with a valid MO title as such. Kansas wouldn't touch it. Your Vicky might slip through in Texas as a '34, but if it ran into the wrong inspector, it would have to be re-titled as ASVE. Been there, done that. Any state that has a close version of the SEMA model law is reasonably easy. Those that don't can be a nightmare.
Ride better than your roadsters? You need a rainstorm blowing sideways at the windows to really enjoy it. I bet it is nice.
Don that really really looks great! I would never have picked that color in a million years but it just seems to fit the car.
“…..I have often wondered how difficult it was to purchase cars from across states…..”
Mark, that’s a question that really takes about 50 volumes to answer and continually changes. Each state makes its own rules and none of them are exactly the same. Depending on where a person lives there can be up to 3 major hoops a person may have to jump thru to be able to register/get plates for the vehicle and be able to drive it.
Title Transfer: All states have their own unique title. Even if you currently own the car, if you move to a different state, when you establish a new residence there you are required to transfer title to that state and meet their requirements just as if you had bought a car from out of state. There are some states however that after a car reaches a certain age only required you to have a bill of sale or registration certificate to transfer ownership. When transferring a title on a vehicle coming out of state, most states require a VIN inspection. Depending on how the state law is written this is where problems can arise if there has been a frame change and the paperwork doesn’t match.
Safety Inspection: Some states require a minimal one time only safety inspection when transferring when a car in from out of state (lights, tires, glass, brakes etc). Other states still require an annual (or other time frame) safety inspection. Again depending on the state and the inspector modified cars can run into issues in this area as some states require fenders and other don’t, some states still enforce bumper height laws and on and on. Some states don’t require the inspection at all.
Emissions inspections: Finally there is the dreaded emission inspection. This requirement not only varies from state to state but can also vary within the state itself. In Arizona for instance, in you live in the Phoenix or Tucson areas annual/Bi-annual emissions testing is required, but if you live outside those areas it is not. Many states drop the emission testing requirement based on the age of the vehicle, which is where how a vehicle is titled can become a major issue i.e. is it a 1933 Ford (exempt) or a 2014 Ford (requires emission testing).
A lesson I learned long ago is if you have a question actually go down to DMV and ask the inspector before you buy the car (and be prepared for an answer you don’t want to hear). That being said I have personally found it not really too bad where I’m at…..no safety or emission testing and title transfers reasonably easy to do…..as long as you know what’s expected.

Of course with the longer wheelbase and ind f/e, it does Ray.Quote:

Very Nice!!!
Thank you so much for your indepth reply Mike. My Mum will be enjoying her eightieth on the 23 rd of this month and her Doctor was so pleased with how I'm caring for her that I only have to take her to the Doc bi-annually now instead of every three months so I pray she has many years in her yet but my intentions of selling up and coming across to LA to purchase a Hot Rod to travel up,down and across your amazing country is still at the top of my bucket list so wondered about the difficulties I may have in driving a fenderless car across the State lines etc.
Sorry to high jack your thread Don with my ramblings.
Too cushy 4 me Don, Tuff old Dude, aren't you?
wondered about the difficulties I may have in driving a fenderless car across the State lines Mark, who you gonna ask if not the old Dude that has gone coast to coast flipping rain 20 feet in the air and laughing all the time.
Well Henry went through the Virginia routine and so did I about two years ago. Basically the states seem to use the Federal Laws to generate revenue taxes for the state. In my case I had Rodger Spears on my case and now I understand he had a rough experience in Kansas but actually I went through all the hoops and paid almost $700 for taxes on parts purchased out of Virginia (mostly Speedway) and then when the State Trooper came to look at the car and attached the special vehicle plate he was quite friendly. His comment was that he was mainly experienced in checking out retitled wrecks pieced together in the D.C. area so he was friendly and courteous and liked my car.

".....wondered about the difficulties I may have in driving a fenderless car across the State lines......"
Generally speaking if a car is legally titled/registered and legal in one state it is granted the right of pass thru and won't be bothered going thru other states.
That being said every once in a while you run into an overzealous cop who just don't like hot rods ........ask me how I know :rolleyes:
.
Have driven fenderless cars in all of the 48 states in my years of travelin across the U S and never had a problem.
Except for a few who would stop me in the middle of no where just to talk and look @ the car, with a reminder to slow it down a little.
What's wrong with cruzin @ 85 when there isn't another car in sight for miles/ Guess they were just bored !!!!!!!!!
I agree with Don and Mike. With a street rod, the chances of having problems with the law for a fenderless care are pretty remote. Unfortunately, here are some officers who are very picky, having a bad day, or are working in a jurisdiction that's after the revenue.
The most common issue in some states seems to be to be window tint.
Here in Kansas we had a State Trooper pull over a nice '34 Ford Pickup running Antique tags, but very obviously a street rod with modern power train and tasteful bling. He claimed "failure to signal a lane change" as justification for the stop (bogus), but then wrote a ticket for "improper registration" and told the fellow he had 30 days to go to the DMV and get his registration straightened out, and new "non-Antique" tags. The times are changing, guys, whether you believe it or not....Quote:

Only sure of Misery laws, but around here with antique plates you are only allowed Holiday and weekends with only 1500 miles per year and you must keep your log book up to date.

In Kansas, antiques must be antiques, period. From the Dept. of Revenue: "Vehicle must be at least 35 model years old or older, and not be altered or modified from the original manufacturer’s model, except for safety components. (Vehicles which are 35 years old and have been made into street rods and/or hot rods are no longer antique vehicles)."Quote:
