argh!!! Why does everything have to be so freakin complicated?!

Lets see, is the title in my name?..nope, I never registered the car, nor did the previous owner, so the title is in the name of a guy who last owned the car in 1994.

What do I have to prove i own the car?..Well, other than the car, the keys, insurance, tons of awards from shows, etc I have absolutely nothing. I figured I might have a problem with the declared value but I'm not sure. The NADA has a high retail of about 45K for a 1970 Z/28. Hagertys Insurance had me get an appraisal from some company they use and it was appraised at 60K. I bought it for 25K a few years ago. So do I pay taxes on 25K, 45K, 60K? beats the hell out of me. Do I have that bill of sale you might ask?..nope. Bought it from someone I know very well, knew I wasn't going to be driving it so it didnt seem important. I could always get something from him or just make something up but I just hate bs'ing and jumping thru all kinds of hoops for what seems like a simple situation.


Do I have other plates..nope, I have just pulled one of one of my other cars when I would go out. Understand, this car has less than 250 miles since I bought it. it usually goes on a trailer so no need for plates.

As for the car being inspected. Do either of you know what exactly they are inspecting? I assume I wouldn't have a problem since the car is literally a brand new 1970 Camaro that is 100% stock. Stock to the extent that it won the Camaro nationals legend concourse division at Carlisle and scored way over 950 points for originality. It even has the full functioning smog system still intact and is not modified in any way, shape or form.

I guess I need to plan on this being less than just a quick in and out thing at the DMV, huh?
