Hows it going fellas, well theres a Datsun 240z at the local junk yard that I have had an eye on and am wondering would there be any way to get a title for it if it has none and make it legal for street use. I am considering buying it for a project car to eventually give to my dad for his B-day. I have a full shop to work in and plenty of money/resources for it, just trying to find a cheap starter car. Any input for be helpful. Thanks in advance

 

bump!

 

im sure you could buy it from the junk yard. trailer it to your shop. work on it.. then get it registered and all that..... although ive never done anything like that before.

 

good question.. legal means different things in different states.. find out what you need for a car to be legal in ur state n take it from there

 

You should be able to go to your local DMV/SOS office and get the info you need to apply for title. Shouldn't be too hard since you'll have the invoice from buying it at the junkyard.

Looks like form VSD-330 is what you'll be looking for.

 

Yea I am trying to find that info but the DMV websites suck *****

 

Thanks for the link, im looking through it now to see if that helps

 

I guess its a salvaged vehicle so I would have to get a licensed rebuilder to sign off on it then get a saftey inspection at the DMV
