Re: PA salvage certificate, hard to get R-title?
 

Here the car has to be rebuilt by a licensed re-builder. Then they have to have it inspected and pass before they can sell it or be listed as a rebuilt title.

too late, already bought the shitbox rustbucket. its sitting in my shop right now after hearing the dolly i planned on using got stolen I said ---- it and went to pick it up with a 109" long trailer. :l

Lets just say it was a tense ride that I will NEVER do again.

you can have them in VA, you just can't get more than liability insurance on it. you may want to see what your insurance company would say about a salvage title or a r-title.

"sell" it to someone out of state and then buy it back, should get issued a new title... ;)

that's what I did with my camaro. registered it in a state that only needed a bill of sale like RI then use that registration to title it in PA. got as far as registering it, then lost my registration. Have the forms i need to fill out and everything :1

you still didnt tell me what was so flaky about towing it home

Re: PA salvage certificate, hard to get R-title?
 

the wheelbase is barely shorter than that man. Let me think of a few things that went wrong
-it put too much weight behind the trailer axle and it started to whip on freeway traffic when we hit 40mph
-the trailer didn't have lights
-registration for the trailer was for a 500lb max jet ski trailer
-no easy way of strapping it on safely
-had to pull the rear wheels and pull the rear end up onto the tongue part of the trailer, dropped it on jack stands and strapped it down
-took so long to do that ---- we had an hour drive with no trailer lights with a crx blocking the truck tail lights.

It ------- blew cause I took so long to make sure it was secured safely. I don't know how in the hell we didn't get pulled as we passed 4 cops on the way home. You know how big trailer ticketing has been around here after that wood chipper came loose and killed that family.
