Here in good ole Louisiana it is very simple to get a title for a "kit-car/replica" be it a Superformance or FFR. MSO from manufacter or VALID bill of sale,go to the DMV and pay taxes on actual value of car and get title.... FFR for example,MSO and bill of sale for kit,receipts for all "donor" parts showing they were legally bought and not stolen and also showing you actually paid sales tax on those parts already,a roadworthy inspection by the state police and your about done... Really not that difficult...

Other states may be different,but by and large they are all very similar.... They expect you to pay taxes on the value of the car and show that the "donor" parts were not stolen and legally bought,that goes for Superformances also,just show where you got the motor and trans and how much you paid for them and your ready to go...

TU's main objective is circumventing the law....I do not like paying taxes any more than any one else,but it is worth it????? I know of 2 Mercedes that the owner "lost" or had confiscated by the stae police that were rebuilt from totals and the owners could not produce the proper documentation needed.... The way they got caught was one was involved in another accident and had three different sets ov VIN number on varouis parts and one set was from a stolen car.... the owners lost both car because they were deemed stolen and could not produce the needed documentaion to prove otherwise....

It may cost a little more to do it right,but to me it's worth it so I can sleep good at night....

The guy in question may be the nicest guy around and a great cop,but he did what he did knowing he was circumventing the law and he knew what he was doing was legally wrong or he would not have gone thru the trouble to do it that way.... He got caught,now he should be dealt with accordingly,he took the chance and lost....Just because others do it and have done it doesn't make it right or o-k for everyone to do it....
