(3-21-22)
02. Engine Changes. A vehicle that has an engine of a different make, model or year from the body, frame and running gear is not considered a specially constructed vehicle. These vehicles retain the original title and identification designation. (3-21-22)
03. Title Application Requirements. (3-21-22)
a. The applicant will provide proof of
ownership for all significant parts that are replaced, such as frame, body, and
other parts that carry vehicle identification numbers. The body will have a
properly released title from the former owner. The frame only may be
transferred with a bill of sale given by the legal owner showing the vehicle
identification number (VIN). Other significant parts that are replaced will be
verified by traceable invoices identifying the part or parts if purchased from
an established new or used parts outlet. If the other significant parts are
purchased from a private party, a bill of sale showing seller's name and
address is necessary. An MCO will accompany the documents for manufactured kits
or if no MCO was issued, a factory invoice or bill of sale from the selling
dealer, together with a statement certifying no MCO was issued for the kit, is
acceptable. (3-21-22)
b. The model
year will be the year that the specially constructed vehicle was first titled
as a specially constructed vehicle. (3-21-22)
c. The make code as shown on the certificate
of title of a specially constructed vehicle will be identified as "SPCN" and
the certificate of title will be branded "Specially Constructed."
(3-21-22)
d. When the vehicle is in
operating condition, an inspection by a motor vehicle investigator is
necessary. A fee of twenty-five dollars ($25) is necessary for this inspection
and the preparation of the statement of fact and indemnifying affidavit. In
addition, if a vehicle identification number is assigned, the fee in Section
49-202(2)(j),
Idaho Code, will be charged. If the vehicle is eligible to be registered for
road use, the owner will complete a self-certification on a form prescribed by
the department stating that the vehicle is in compliance with Chapter 9, Title
49, Idaho Code, and meets the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards in effect
for the model. (3-21-22)
