just started the classic car titling process for a dodge dart Cali title
No problem at the tag office
Now have to get it inspected at
Newton dmv office
Has anyone experienced this a this office ?
And how where they ?
What to expect ?
 
I went through it with a 1970 K20 at the Durham office, it was pretty painless, they checked the body VIN and a couple of ID marks on the frame. Relatively painless (it was a 90% stock vehicle). The whole process took 15 mins. the inspector had zero interest in making small talk.
 
This inspection is the scenario I always tell folks to be careful of when they 'restore' vehicles and parts swap between vehicles or buy a 'restored'/classic vehicle. Most states recognize a 'permanent' VIN location (whether the DMV is competent enough to know where that is on any given vehicle is a different discussion) and for the title to match that, it's usually during this inspection someone might find out they have a very expensive parts car or part of a stolen car, etc etc. If that's not a worry, this process is as simple as confirming the car is as described. Specifically in the Ford world, I know guys that have dropped $30k on a vehicle, didn't check the frame VIN, didn't match the title and they got one big ol, expensive lawn ornament. Most bruncledaddies refuse to believe that as factual since they're third generation hacking 5 trucks together to make one and never had an issue, but I have guys weekly in my groups saying they got screwed.
 
I had no problem on the last one I did from out of state. They just confirm it's what it's supposed to be. On the other side I've had people argue the frame doesn't matter and you can do whatever.
