    O.k. so the weirdest question ever. I have gentlemen who are considering buying my dragster to bring to Kuwait for a racing class that is opening up soon. These are verified legitimate business men so I am not asking about scams. However the country of Kuwait wants a title even though it is a dragster and in no way, shape, or form is/or could ever be a real car. They see a car as a car and do not recognize motorsports yet. Does anyone have experience getting a real race car titled? A bill of sale w/ serial numbers is apparently not good enough for the city of Kuwait.

    I am currently working with the DOT to figure this out and am in FL if it matters.

    Thanks for any and all help,
    Trevor Sherwood

    title me please

    in cali, you can do what is called a special construction vehicle, which is just like what you have. they give you a vin and a title. a little bs, but usually there is a gray area in the dmv that allows you to do this. if not, a off road vehicle vin will
    usually fly, comes with a title too. you may goto one of those off the path title places that deal with the dmv, maybe a little more wiggle room. dan

    Who built the chassis? Before a title there is usually a Certificate of Origin. Check Chicago WaterMark Company. I just found them with a google search. All these chopper shops that sprung up had to do something like this to get their bikes titled. All the east coast's stolen cars had their titles washed in Alabama years ago. If all else fails you run the scam. Make a fake one.

    Chassis

    Brett Hordeman build this car and I do have his number and can contact him but other than typed letters I am not sure what kind of certificate Brett could make up.

    Thanks,
    Trev

    Here in Ohio I think they have a self assembled title.
