Certificate Of Destruction in Florida |
|
|
I live in Florida, the only state I know of that has Certificates
Of Destruction. I found a classic 1977 Triumph Spitfire convertible
that has some flood damage. There is also some damage to the passenger
side door. Besides that, there isn’t much damage to it. I could
easily have it in road-worthy condition in less than 6 months.
The car is being auctioned at an auto recycler with a COD title. I
have the money, time, and the mechanical knowledge to fix it. It would
be a shame to let this complete car get taken apart for parts when it
only needs a little tlc. I would like some helpful info. I would like
to keep it original and get a rebuildable title for it. If not that, I
would like to rebuild it, add some new parts and title it as a
home-built car. I also have another plan. I was wondering if it would
be legal to: buy the COD car, "sell" it to my sister in Alabama,
have it titled as a rebuildable car in Alabama, then "buy" it back.
Could I then have it titled in Florida as a rebuildable car? Anyone
know? Any help is appreciated.

Probably the best place to check is with the DMV in Florida. We've sold
many vehicles that are at the end of the line untitled and Certificate of
Destruction classifications. Builders have combined parts cars that are
older than 15 years and re-titled them without much of a hassle. DMV's are
more interested in late model fraud. Hope everything turns out o.k.

Bill, one question: What state have they done all of ^this^ in?
Thanks Bill.
I have e-mailed the Florida DMV already. It has been a while since I
e-mailed them. No response. Tomorrow, I will probably go by the local
DMV and see if anyone there knows. I still have a few days before the
auction ends. I will probably buy the car anyway, and worry about the
COD later. Coincidentally, my work is on the corner of the street the
DMV is on.

Bill, one question: What state have they done all of ^this^ in?
Massachusetts, New York, Vermont. In my opinion it's easier to re-title |
an antique car in it's contemporary form than registering a kit car and
having to prove it's road worthiness. Good luck.

Cars over ten years of age do not require titles in Rhode Island.
