You've got the newt? Cool...

The title wasn't signed over to you at the time of sale?

 

[gladly]

cool truck, never seen a tub quite like it, looks like... well... a tub!

True

Yeah, yours pushed my insurance search forward with urgency, so it might be a little consolation that your misfortune helped someone?



Jeffxlh - all you have to do is say "the newt".. no need to post photos, that's one of the most famous Cruisers anywhere....

Thanks, yea the Newt. I picked it up three weeks ago and have had alot of fun with it. I was advised to try to insure it as a parade and show vehicle. I'll make some calls today.

show veh still have a lot of restrictions in the policy... Fact of the matter is you should still have a title with a VIN #.

he stated he does but to get it re-titled (i'm guessing into his name) he'd have to pay up on the taxes. IIRC that sold for a LOT of money so the taxes would be something equivelant to purchasing a corvette or simmilar

Wanna play? Gotta pay.

Around here, you can go off the bill of sale, OR the DMV tax value, which on a 1973 FJ40 is about 5000

I wonder if the same applies to utah

 

[jeffxlh]

I made some phone calls last night and learned the same does apply now here in Texas. This is good news for me. I going to the title company at lunch. I'll let you know.

Good for me when I move in 3 years (ish)

 

[jeffxlh]

Well I went to the title co. and they tell me I need a safety inspection before I can change the title over. I cant get a safety inspection without ins.......Heck I cant even get the Newt inspected, Bead locks , Hydrolic steer, 49's?

 

[Eskimo]

None of that is illegal in most states.. Make them show you where it is.

In UT you'd have to register the newt as an OHV only rig that's for sure
