Has anyone registered a factory five vehicle in North Carolina? If so, please share you experience.
The ncdot.gov site mentions, custom-built vehicles presented for first-time titling and registration in North Carolina must be examined and photographed by a local NC Division of Motor Vehicles inspector. The report confirms the vehicle is equipped for road use and meets all DOT safety standards.
I sent an e-mail asking what is included in the inspection and received the following response (which does not address any DOT safety standards they may require the vehicle to satisfy)
when one of our inspectors does a report on a vehicle like you have decribed, they are checking the vehicle numbers, odometer and title to prevent fraud and theft. they are not checking for safety items at that time. if you have a vehicle that needs an inspector, you need to contact your local license and theft bureau office.
