Rebuidlers title or not? - 04/16/19 02:27 AM
HI All,
I have been dragging my feet on getting the title on my 1931 chevy transferred from Illinois to Colorado because the car is currently undergoing restoration. However, I need to do it. I have been advised on 2 routes to do this and am looking for some advice. I can take it in for a vin verification now (not street legal yet) and they will issue me a verification so that I can get a rebuilders permit. This will then get me on the right path but then when the restoration is complete I will have a title with a salvage stamp on it. I have been given the impression that this is not a good thing. However, if I wait until it is street legal then I don't have to worry about the extra steps or having a salvage stamp placed on the title. I got the car from my grandfather and it was in working condition when he got it. It was never junked. I also do not plan on ever selling this car. What would anyone recommend? Does having a salvage stamp on the title matter all that much?
Thank you for the advice in advance.
