Hello
Just to let everybody know the document that MWCC posted is a CT Bill of Sale and not a registration. You can go to the DMV or any local police department and get a stack of them and the buyer and seller fills it out. The document that Vodoo posted is a CT registration form and is the form you get when you renew your registration. The only way to get this form is if you already have that vehicle registered. Renewal is one to two years depending on the type of registration. As far as the model designation on the registration form, the person registering it puts that on when the vehicle is first registered. In this case, x442L1, and not Camaro. DMV does not care what you put there and they do not have a book to show if the info you are putting is correct. You could register your car as a "Chevy Mustang" if you really wanted and they would never say anything to you. As far as inspections go things have changed in recent years. Inspections have always and still are only done the 1st time you register a vehicle and not at renewel or any other time. Up to approximately 2000 or so you had to go through inspection for any vehicle 10 years old or older or an out of state vehicle. This was a saftey inspection only and they did not verify hidden VINS. They verified the VIN plate to the registration and that was it. Saftey inspection only to look at tires, brakes, lights, etc. The only time VINS were checked was with a salvaged title. After the change in 2000 or there abouts, there is no saftey inspection. They now verify 2 VINS on the car. They check the VIN plate to anything else with a VIN and that includes a motor or tranny. If not matching #'s then they check the hidden VIN. As far as titles go in CT, the DMV only requires titles on 1981 or newer cars. If you register a 1981 or older vehicle and give the DMV a title they will destroy it and you will never see it again. For the police investigation in this case, it would almost certainly not take place. As somebody said earlier this would be a civil matter and the police may (depending on the local department) document it with a report, but there would not be an investigation, unless it could be proven that there was some type of crime in CT. Meaning that there was some proof that the car or VIN was stolen, i.e. video of it happening or somebody confessing. If there is none, let the lawyers sort it out. I have no connection to anybody who posted on this thread or to this car or engine, but just passing this info along because some of these CT documents and the CT DMV can be confussing.
