Got my SF-97.. its a FL title !?!?!

[paulfarber]

So I but a truck in PA.

SF-97 is from Egland AFB, Florida... and its a FL title!

PLUS there is a goberment form about a Government title transfer.

Oh well... at least I have a title... should make getting a PA title that much easier.

Paul, that is actually correct. NJ residents get FL title also.

So do Kansas Boys..

I got a Fl title for my trailer and an Az title for my truck, both while i am in Va.

Paul, did you get any acknowledgment during the process, or was it just submit it then it arrived? I've read that you usually receive no contact from the time you click submit until you get the title in the mail.

 

[ryan77]

Illinois gets a title to!!

 

[gimpyrobb]

From what I understand, some states do not recognize the sf-97 form as legal. GL sends them titles from Fl. This is the first time I have heard of getting an Az title.

Every one I got from GL was a FL title.
The certificate to obtain title to a vehicle
should show a purchase price on it and when I get my titles I show them this and say that is what I paid for it. My first one showed $1.00 the second showed $17.77

Mine works hit sumit sf97 then you get some paper work and you just sign that and ship it back to GL then you get your FL title in mail.

What is the time period some of you have recently had to wait for the paperwork and/or titles? I know when I submittel my sf97 request I believe it said 30 days.

When I bought my first deuce back in 2001, I got an AZ title - several months later. This was pre SF-97 though. They just sent titles without you paying them any more extra.

 

[paulfarber]

I submitted for the SF-97 late Feb. The date on the FL Title is actually March 2nd, but I didn't get it in the mail till yesterday.

I didn't get any notice or have to sign anything other than the delivery notice.

I did have a quick online chat with GL around March 15th to ask where I was in the process (this was about 3 weeks after I submitted online) and the next week papers showed up.

The VIN numbers etc are all OK.

I think PA is gonna wack me $400 a year registration due to the weight class (18,500 GVW) so I may go right to historical plates.... it all depends on what the renewal fee is.

CLASS REGISTERED GROSS WEIGHT REGISTRATION FEE

ANNUAL/MONTH
​

7 17,001 - 21,000 355.50/29.63


Antique, Classic or Collectible 75.00 N/A
Registration (Permanent Fee)
Local State Farm agent quoted me $89 A YEAR(!) for insurance. I'm waiting for them to call me back... I don't see that as realistic.

Florida titles for me in Kansas.

 

[wilber]

In Kansas it is much cheaper to purchase an Antique Tag. We pay a one time registration, then property tax every year.

 

[mikey]

Paul, I am absolutely going for the QQ antique plates in NJ. $44 to register. There are some limitations on those plates. Check in PA for any limitations there. I will not be doing any hauling except maybe to collect WMO or for some firewood, so I should be OK.

 

[westfolk]

Don't forget....as it stands in PA it does not matter what type of registration you run. If your vehicle has 3 axles they will hit you for not having an IFTA sticker.
Yes, the battle from last summer still continues regarding this issue. Rather than dealing with what IFTA is about they are reading just what is written in the law. No exceptions exist relating to type of registration. Dumb I know. Perhaps someday it'll get corrected to reflect reality, doubt it though.

I still get SF-97's for my stuff doesn't matter what state it's coming from.

 

[Flyingvan911]

I got an Arizona title for my deuce here in Missouri. I got it registered just fine.

 

[jaxsof]

My re-assigned title through Wis was from AZ as well.

 

[paulfarber]

How many people are getting IFTA fines?

A PA Non-IFTA sticker is $5 and paperwork is only due once a year (you still gotta show fuel /mileage) but the only other option is an IFTA sticker, quarterly (or monthly, I forget) filings but you get to go to all 50 states without the $50 (RIP OFF!) trip ticket.

Would I have to even pull over if a DOT inspector 'lit me up?'.

 

[mikey]

I was expecting Florida titles for my two deuces as most NJ members were receiving them from FL. I just received them from AZ. No concern to me, just wanted to point out that my first post in this thread was not 100% accurate.

Year Make Model Body style
1967 JEEP M35A2 PU
1970 JEEP M35A2 PU

Both VIN #'s correct.

I have to thank Jean Payton at GL for helping me get through the proper VIN #'s because the #'s I submitted from the frame did not match the GL description.
