good news is i finally heard back from a guy (very different than the woman I had spoken too on several occassions). He was cool. I told him about what the situation was and he said how is it registered - 69 VW Beetle. Whats the VIN - told him. He said that is all I care about and I will be at your house on Friday at 1. Now that could go 2 ways. 1 - he may have said that is all I care about (because he did ask if it was modified) so that when he gets here he can say - this is NOT a 69 VW Beetle OR 2 - he could come here and say cool as car looks good you will have your title in a couple weeks. Either way, at this point I am just glad that it is set up. I feel good about the guy coming over...no DMV like tendencies (at least over the phone) to be a prick like everyone at the DMV i have ever encountered. So, Friday will either be a breeze or will start me down the path of having to prove what the car is. Fingers crossed for easy. Alan M - got your PM but haven't had a chance to check (and I appreciate you reaching out!). I am going to see where Friday takes me and go from there. Stay positive Todd...Stay positive Todd...
Thanks for all the response. Gordon - your response makes absolute sense. i just know if they deem this a specialty construction based on year built 2013 then I am screwed as it will have to go through emissions and aint no way in hell a 1969 VW 1915 CC motor that pops and spits and smells like a gas factory is going to get through any emissions inspection. then I will have bought BACK a very very beautiful paperweight.
