[Healeys] DMV No Go

[David Porter]

Yea, 're-registering a car every year after the original time is just state sanctioned racketeering...

Took my BN2 body shell to the California DMV today to establish ownership.  If you remember from past posts I got the body shell and suspension alone with no numbers on the car whatsoever.  Well, there is a chassis ID plate on the firewall now.  I was naive enough to think that was all I needed to start ownership paperwork, so I took the body on a flatbed trailer to the DMV today for a VIN number verification to start the paperwork. After renting a tilt flat bed trailer and wasting most of the afternoon at the Redlands DMV office it was no dice.  I was told it had to have an engine in it to verify the VIN number.  The car does not even have the suspension in it yet and the engine bay is bare.  It needs a lot more prep before I can put the engine in.  So back to square one.  I wanted to do a transfer while it was just a shell to pay less extorsion money the the state because a body shell is worth a whole lot less than a finished car.  Apparently they want more money than I want to pay.
