A lot of what your talking about. The part I do not know is if The KY plates stay with the car or not.

I just brought back a C3 from Alabama. Of interest is that Alabama does not title cars as early as 72. I trailered it back so a tag was not a concern but it took 4 trips to the tag agency to get the tax, tag and title squared away.

I had my bill of sale but I ended up adding an affidavit in reference to the vin and odometer (trip one leading to trip two) must be notarized or signed by local law enforcement (and heck I R one)

Then I found I needed a bill of sale with a perjury statement saying the buyer was not lie-ing about the facts of the sale (trip two leading to trip three).

Then I run into the "but the vin doesn't exactly match" 'cause some yoo hoo in Alabama had at some point goofed (trip three leading to trip four).

Finally... thanks to a connection with DHSMV an affidavit of compliance got the (farkin) job done.

The bottom line I paid the sales tax as stated on the bill of sale, the transfer fee and the tag and title fee.

But at least and finally the State of Florida say's that bad boy Vette is Ken's
