Couldn't transfer my title from iron planet to my name in Maryland

I know this has been a while on this thread, but...

You might ask them to cite their reference. And then read it yourself. If you feel there's room for interpretation you have a representative government - take it up with them. Worst they can say is 'no' and then you can get in touch with your state and federal representatives.

I'm not trying to cause any hate here. But their blanket statement that (all) SF-97s for those vehicles state they're for off-road use only is false. Some SF-97s may say that for one reason or another but not all. I've personally obtained an SF-97 for a M998 which I then went on to title in VA for on-road use (granted as an antique). No where on that SF-97 did it say anything about off-road only.

And if I had wanted to go through the proper processes to title a M35A3 without any documentation other than a bill of sale, that would've worked too. (which might be a course of action for you)

And lastly the bit about a non-standard VIN is, IMHO, just bunk and heaping on nonsense. There are, again IMHO, plenty of nonstandard VINs out there.

I know laws vary state to state. But please, do not accept such FUD as an answer. Do the research, put in some effort, and get it done.

Good luck,
SJ/JD

There are more options. Out of state tags to start then bring it in as a regular. ?? Historic plates ? I used dirt legal to get tags. It’s not a daily driver ,so just going to parades etc. so it has not been an issue yet. I’m sure some overzealous trooper will cry but WGAF

In 20 some years of rolling MVs down the road I've never had a single negative encounter with LE.

Some of them are just being curious and will wave. The rest have more important matters to attend to than a guy going 45mph down the road with a smile on his face.

I do not yet have the experience with dirt legal to know one way or the other on them. But I will soon know more about that. My only concern with DL is their data hygiene - they have a lot of their clients' information and if they're lazy and get hacked, we get exposed.
