Reply to "Florida Title and Registration"

I wouldn't waste $ on a title company to register in FL.  FL uses its tax office for licensing/registration.  They don't do a safety or integrity inspection (ever), they go out and look at the VIN and mileage.  (You can also have a law enforcement officer attest to mileage and VIN without taking the car in - but it requires another form).  I'd stick with registering it as a '68 VW - the new tag will cost you only $75 as an antique (30 years old in FL - not norma 25 years).  A normal new tag is $225! (I haven't registered mine yet in FL as they do require you maintain insurance on a car once it is registered and tagged). Since itis already registered (for more than 6 months) in your name, there will be no FL 606.5% sales tax).  Plus in FL, only 1 license plate required (rear).  You can buy a used antique plate and it can be used - but more forms and it has to be pristine.  Weird codes too for old FL plates - some for trucks, RV, cars and some are for counties.

PM'd means look to the upper right and click on user name then drop down 4 lines to Private Message. Red if you have one.
