Replica law...

[LRflip]

SEMA Action Network: "A version of SEMA model legislation to create a vehicle registration classification for street rods, replicas and custom vehicles was signed into law by Governor Bev Perdue. The new law is the product of negotiations between SEMA and the hobbyist network in North Carolina. The law retains the key components of the SEMA-model bill while relieving vehicle owners of unfair title branding and inspection concerns. The measure provides specific registration and titling classes for street rods and replicas; allows for the use of non-original materials; creates a titling and registration criterion that assigns replica vehicles the same model year designation as the production vehicle intended to be replicated and requires that the title of a replica vehicle clearly indicates that the vehicle is a replica and not an original. The law is slated to take effect on Oct. 1, 2009."

So, anything could be a replica anything and nobody would know the damn difference?

It would just say "Replica Land Rover Discovery Tdi" on my title?

Think in terms of a known repilca car - Ford Shelby Cobra, built with a fiberglass body and a Jaguar rear end. The law will allow it to be registered as a 1967 Shelby Cobra Replica even though it has a differant body and suspension. Those cars had serial numbers but not VIN. Probably a result of someone selling a car and the buyer thinking he got a great deal because he got a collector car for a low price and then finding out it was not original.
This idea oppposed to dropping a differant engine into a vehicle (like a 200TDi) and calling it a differant vehicle. It is just a modified vehicle. You still have a VIN that identifies what vehicle it is.

It would just say "Replica Land Rover Discovery Tdi" on my title?

Last Friday, for the second time, I was issued a title with UNK listed at least twice on the title.

At least it doesn't say Toyota.
