I never said I was selling mine, as I’m using them for my FFRs. But there are legal was of transferring, and trust me- Boyd, Foose and many other car builders are known to use this same process.

I have not used this process, and as the attorney said, “His advice is free and take it as you will.”

All I’m saying is, there are LEGAL ways to do it, without a TRANSFER.

If you believe there is a legal way to do it without transfer (besides titling a car not your own in your name or your fathers first), then by all means post it here for everyone to see. (You say that Boyd has done it yet you must have missed when he was prosecuted by the state of California.) Otherwise, you now have more than just yourself involved and things could get sticky for a Californian in a NY institution of higher learning. In closing, while I do not know everything about the California Dept of Motor Vehicles, I do know what is fact and what is not. If you got an attorney to offer you "free advice", then you already know it's really not worth anything and most likely is not based in current case laws in California. I do suggest that you walk away from this one and chalk it up as a learning experience, instead of trying very hard to prove yourself right when in this case you are not. I'll await either an email response from
Morgester, or perhaps a post of his own as he is still a semi active member of this forum. We can then all go from there.
