I just got back from the "Tag Office" in my county in Ga. Got my car registered without a hitch. In Ga. all you need is a bill of sale basicly for your registration.
Since my car was imported to the U S, they required that a police agency officer/offical or tag office offical inspect the car and make sure the serial number on the car was legitimate. They basicly have to submit it to Interpol to make sure it didn't or doesn't belong to another car or is not a stolen number. I fortunately had the privilege of managing the epidural of one our counties finest. Her husband was an officer as well, and as it came to pass he is a Mustang nut. He an I got to talking after the joyous birth about cars and I mentioned I needed it inspected. Several weeks after the delivery. all three came by the house and he got to crawl all over it. He signed the paper work and it was done.
The last hurdle was insurance. I had tried Grundys, Classic Car and several others. Some were inordinately expensive. Others wouldn't insure it as I had a speeding ticket or two in the past. So I called my insurance company that I have had since my 20s. They said they would have to research the vin # as it didn't match the total number of digits for a Ford product. After about 4 hours they call back asking a few more questions. "Is it a Fairlane. Is it four door or two. Is it 6 cylinders or 8?" they never asked the valuation of the car. All I wanted was liability and theft protection. They then told me they would insure it for the grand total of less than $400/year. I just have to send them some pics of the car.
Next stop was the tag office. They looked at the bill of sale and asked if I had the car since the date of the bill of sale(29-11-02). I told them it took 3 months top get to the U S and she figured up the advelorum tax from that date. No fines or penalties for the 6 1/2 years I had the car. That bill was.......$57. She even asked if I wanted a historic tag. I declined!!!!
I will post the work it took to get it fired up shortly in my build log.
