<VV> Corvair Prices now CA registration

[Matt Nall]

Yes, in Calif.  the car is the CAR......  the owner only posseses it... 
Plates stay with car forever [ except vanity / specials]

The car, if not to be operated, must pay / get a NON-OP    renewed yearly...

After 8 yrs. of no activity....  the fees are dropped...because the TITLE 
is purged.....

Then the new / old owner can start over.....  BUT

You still need the original TITLE   [ catch 22]   but no back fees are 
accessed.

No title...now it seems to depend on the DMV  person you are dealing with.

Hanks LM...nothing but 1  Black license plate  with 1977 sticker [ iirc]

Went to register [ not license]  and they ran the plate...not 
stolen......just needed a Bill of  Sale then showing I had BOUGHT it [ 
recently?]

Then a VIN  verification  and I had a title.....

Side note:     Seems I'd forgotten that the car must be Complete  when 
verifying the VIN....  engine  seat, windshield,etc...

So I ran home, 15 miles,  reinstalled the engine .....and back to the DMV 
then back home to change vehicles, then 40 miles to work ... before  noon!
