Reply To: title info

Eric,

Jim is 100% correct about Ohio DMV offices being difficult, but there is also a simpler way to accomplish your goal. Ohio does require an out-of-state inspection form to be completed for cars brought here from elsewhere. And this form is only a verification of the VIN# on the car against the title/registration; any licensed car dealer, new or used, can do this for you. I’d avoid the State Highway Patrol altogether, instead go find some local used car dealer, perhaps with an interest in older cars, for this VIN verification and first explain the engine # on the title difference vs. newer cars, should easily be a done-deal. Then take this slip of paper & your checkbook to the title office and get in the quarter-mile long line stretching a out the door.
