Hello,
I'm to the point where I am ready to transfer title and register this car:
It runs and drives, steers and stops just fine. It does have a Salvaged title though, meaning that it was totaled and parked for 24 years. The full story of the revival can be found here:
Lookie what $5000 buys you....
I have never brought a car back from the dead before so I'm new to the government side of it. I understand that I need some type of inspection process. The words I've heard are "Brake and Lamp" but what exactly does that entail? Do they drive the car to test the brakes then look at the headlights, turn signals and brake lights?
I have yet to find a shop to inspect it but I just started looking.
California may be different than other states but I appreciate any insight you might have.
