I had nothing but trouble with the North Carolina DMV agent in the Charlotte, NC region who was assigned to inspect my new Speedster in 2016. I did not ask what level of schooling he had, but after inspecting the VIN and papers the builder (Vintage Speedsters) sent to prove it was titled in California as a 1965 Volkswagen, the agent still could not figure out how it should be titled in NC. Well, after waiting a few weeks the dummy decided it should be titled as a Porsche. . . because to him it looked like a Porsche. That was when I got wise and contacting the main office of the DMV in Raleigh, NC and got a trained agent on the telephone who had more than a 10th grade education. Bingo! The fellow immediately rectified the misunderstanding and I got a clear title for a 1965 VW replica.
