Thread: Thinking about buying a HotRod in NJ

Oh, my. Where to begin . . .

When information keeps trickling in in bits and pieces, people speculate.

If the title is based on a "VIN is from a 1934 Ford that is long gone," then, there is a high probability that someone falsified an official document, which is either a felony or a misdemeanor, depending on the state. That very process resulted in Boyd Coddington getting slapped down a few years ago.

I agree with Bill NJ may accept the title at face value, but you have not given enough information. What does the title say? EVERYTHING, not just the VIN. Year, Make, Chassis Type, Body Style and any supplementary notes.

Do NOT try any of the title manipulations that DaveS53 recommended. Repeat. Falsification of official documents can have severe consequences, including confiscation of the automobile.

Do NOT depend on legal advice (including mine) you receive on this - or any other website. Go check it out with the NJ DMV, or prepare yourself for a huge shitstorm.
