I had bought a Bradley gt to convert into an electric car after some time wanted to look into getting started into putting on the road but when i looked at my title it is showing it as a 74 VW sedan and in my state of Pa. i need to get a special construction title for it and i need a certificate of origin to do that. i was wondering if anyone has ever found a way around this or if anyone knows where i might be able to get one. i would appreciate any help.

A Certificate of Origin is what is issued with the car body and would have been issued by Bradley Automotive. It appears similiar to a title. You use it when you first register the car after it has been initially built. The DMV takes that Certificate and issues you the title.
So, if yours has been titled and registered then the Certificate of Origin is gone. And there is no way to replace it.

As jspbtown just said a COO is just a paper that shows where the item was made, manufacture date, etc. It would have been taken when the vehicle was titled.

I got mine after they were long gone too... All the state of Minnesota made me do was get a "bonded" title. Maybe you can do that too? All that means is if someone comes along in the next ten years and claims to be the rightful owner of your car body, then they can make some sort of claim. From what I could tell, it was just the state's way of covering their butts in case your car happened to be stolen.

I have to get a bonded title here in NC too. The bond has to be carried for 3 years here. Its odd though. I've had my 1969 chassis titled in my name since 1975. I have bills of sale for my Bradley bodies. Still have to jump through hoops. My car will be titled as a 2011 custom. Nevermind that almost every piece is at least 35+ years old. I've had both the regional DMV inspectors over to take pictures and document numbers before the body is mounted. They have to take some more pics after completion and my new title will be on its way.

Being titled as a 2011, will you be able to get insurance? Here in Canada, the regular ins companies will not cover a custom or modified. The specialty companies that do historic and streetrods and modifieds want it at least 15 years old on paper. |
