Registered deuce owners in CA read on...(and others too if you want to monitor how messy CA can be when it comes to registering a deuce)
I have an appointment with the CHP on June 18 because my 1976 M35A2 did not have a US FEDERAL CERTIFICATION LABEL on it as expected by the DMV clerk for vehicles 1970 and newer (per the standard VERIFICATION OF VEHICLE form 343). So far and with some gentle guidance they've figured how to do a historical vehicle registration, given me no demands for weight fees, are *somewhat* happy with the VIN verification (although the SF97 got it and the mileage wrong). This is hopefully the final test I have to pass to get it registered.
The options on the form provided are:
1-Agrees with VIN
2-Disagrees with VIN
3-Illegible\Damaged
4-Missing
5-None-NA
6-See REMARKS.
The DMV clerk chose #5 and sent me off to CHP for an appointment.
Other options in a seperate but related field are:
1-Vehicle complies with US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (US FMVSS)
2-Lable indicates name of vehicle importer (enter name of importer in REMARKS below)
3-Vehicle complies with safety requirements of a country other than the US.
Has anyone run into this requirement before in registering a vehicle in CA and if so, what line worked in getting it past this check box...I want to scout out my options and walk in as prepared as possible in hopes I have a sympathetic CHP officer.
Thanks,
