Finally a Title!

So finally after a year I have a legal title for my scooter. When I originally purchased my 1961 Vespa GS it came with a CA title. The engine number was the VIN number on the title and the manufacturing year said 1962. The last year it was registered was 1977. Long story short I had been to the DMV four previous times and four different locations and for one reason or another I was sent on a rabbit chase for additional paperwork. The confusion is my CA title has the engine number as the VIN (which was common in those days) and most inspectors would find the frame number and would require me to get a bond to successfully get a title. Finally after a year of this today was sweet success. The inspector came out in clean white pants and asked me where the VIN number was. I got under the engine and read it to her. She processed the paperwork and I was done! I even got a license plate. Apparently in Arizona, 1966 and older bikes do not require an emissions test and are exempt. So a non-running bike like mine has a legal license. My only goal was to get the title in my name. I had heard that once a person bought a bike with a title and the scooter was a fixer upper. After spending many hours and money getting the scooter running and restored he went to register the bike and found out the bike was stolen. The previous owner was happy to get their non-runner scooter bike back in running and restored condition. I was not going to make this mistake. Even though I had a title it was not in my name and legally it was not my bike. Heaven knows how much it is going to cost to restore this scooter and I don't plan on having paperwork stop me from driving this legally on the street. If you ever buy a scooter without a title you need to use a service like this. Now all I need is a 1961 Arizona License Plate. Anyone have one for sale?
