Buggy title???

[Nuts]

Anyone know how I can get a title made for my buggy? I don't want one so i can get plates and drive it on the streets, I'd just like to have something that proves its mine incase the need arises...

I know you have to get it inspected by the highway patrol under the following section, but I don't know where you go from there. I suppose you just take the inspection certificate to a title office. :confused:

§ 4505.111. Inspection of vehicle assembled by person other than manufacturer

(A) Every motor vehicle, other than a motor vehicle as provided in divisions (C), (D), and (E) of section 4505.11 of the Revised Code, that is assembled from component parts by a person other than the manufacturer, shall be inspected by the state highway patrol prior to issuance of title to the motor vehicle. The inspection shall include establishing proof of ownership and an inspection of the motor number and vehicle identification number of the motor vehicle, and any items of equipment the director of public safety considers advisable and requires to be inspected by rule. A fee of forty dollars in fiscal year 1998 and fifty dollars in fiscal year 1999 and thereafter shall be assessed by the state highway patrol for each inspection made pursuant to this section, and shall be deposited in the state highway safety fund established by section 4501.06 of the Revised Code.

Thanks, I'll look into this more!

Hmmmmm. Maybe I should have put up the rest of the section . . . .

§ 4505.111. Inspection of vehicle assembled by person other than manufacturer

. . .

(B) Whoever violates this section shall be fined not more than two thousand dollars, imprisoned not more than one year, or both.

I bet the State highway would love to take a look at your buggy. They seem to become extremely picky as each year passes.

I went through all that when I put the glass body on, it was no big deal. Take it to the HP, they can inspect it check all of your receipts and treat it like any other kit car.

Be careful on the year you choose in case we go back to that e check crap for those that might want to plate their ride.
