North Carolina registration

CaptainSTeeleCaptainSTeele
Question for those that may have done the North Carolina registration tap dance:

How difficult it it to register a "new build" in NC?

Now, before you blurt out the answer- note the following:
I will be out of the country from now until time of delivery
Car will be delivered to my father's house in Mississippi
I fly from overseas to MS and would like to have all the paper issues completed upon arrival so I can DRIVE!!!

I think the car HAS to have insurance prior to application, but from there I am at a loss.

Any help would be appreciated.

S. Teele,

AS Lane indicated, North Carolina can really be or was a real pain in the arse!! I registered and titled my Beck in Tennessee because the inspectors NEVER showed at their set appoint times and dates. Three appoints scheduled after which I had ENOUGH of the B.S. So, I had to do what was best for me. N.C. now has passed a SEMA version of the law for registration of our type of vehicles. Contact me via email and I can tell you more. I like the TENNESSEE plate better!!!

The SEMA-backed legislation that has taken effect in Tennessee is a problem. The way it is worded, you could do it as long as the builder is NOT licensed by the state. SAS builder Steve is licensed which puts the kibosh on that plan. My car is registered as a "Specially Constructed" vehicle with YOM as 2004. This worked fine and nobody inspected the car.

Registering the car in TN will not be valid, as even though we do own some dirt in TN, there is no POBox to document it.

So, maybe the best bet is to title the car in my father's name in MS, have him register the car there with any inspections, insurance, etc. He can cut through the red tape, since I will not be in the country when the car is delivered. I can then arrive and drive- eventually winding up back at home in NC where I can battle the pencil-pushers in person.

Maybe it will be easier doing it this way?
