I?m pretty sure Chris knows this already:
In North Carolina, to get a title for an older car that isn?t already titled in
the state of NC, it will have to be inspected by a gun and badge toting state
officer - even if you have a good clear out of state title in hand.
I just took a look at the Broadway Title web site and they no longer
specifically exclude North Carolina from their services - it now says any state
- so maybe that is now a viable option.
In any case, based my experience here in sunny NC, getting a title in some
other state before attempting to get an NC title is going to be the least
painful option - and may be the only feasible avenue.
Cheers,
Jack Mc
