Being told by the tax office that I will need to have an inspection done by Missouri Highway Patrol and state will issue a completely new VIN. Not really happy about having to attach a new VIN plate to the car.
Can anyone give me some insight on registering a new build in the state of MO.
Thanks in advance.

It's not a manufacturer built vehicle. It comes from the manufacturer (BDR) as a roller. An unfinished kit car. Then it goes to VMS - or whoever - to be finished.
If the car has an MSO, then you have to go through all the steps of registering a kit car. Don't let them suck you in to a salvage title or a rebuild. It's a kit car or a home built car.
Because it is a whole new car, it now needs a VIN before it can be titled. So you do have to go through all that mess.
Some BDR's came out of FL with an actual title. The title has a VIN on it. Then it's just like buying a used car from another state.
