Mike,
Congrats on the new Hurricane! I'm looking forward to seeing it on the road. A couple tips .. you don't admit to having a factory built replica. You have purchased a chassis, engine, and other bits separately and "assembled" them into a replica, or paid for it to be done. There should be separate receipts from Hurricane for the chassis and the job of assembling it, if that was how it was done. Most chassis manufacturers have another "dba" name for that purpose. It looks to me like you will have a 2008 ASVE (assembled vehicle) REPLICA 65 Ford when it all settles out. That is how mine is titled.

The title people in my county told me that on an owner built assembled vehicle, the assumption is that sales taxes were paid on the individual components. So no tax due on that stuff. They really didn't examine the receipts, and didn't care to get that deep. Other folks who have posted here over the years have reported both ways, taxed and not taxed. But it's worth bringing up if they try to tax you. I paid no sales tax at all.

Sam
