Section 39.02.05.302 - SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED VEHICLES

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.

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.
