ASSEMBLED OR SPECIALLY CONSTRUCTED VEHICLES

Any person applying for a certificate of title for a vehicle which was not originally

constructed under a distinctive name, make, model, or type mustmustmustmust apply for an assembled or

specially constructed vehicle title. Vehicles which were originally constructed under a

distinctive name, make or model, but which have been materially altered by the removal of

essential parts or by the addition or substitution of essential parts taken from other

vehicles or makes of vehicles mustmustmustmust also be titled as assembled or specially constructed.

COMPONENT PARTS FROM DIFFERENT VEHICLES

A bill of sale, such as the one on the back of the Affidavit to a Fact form TR-12, is required

for each component part (ENGINE, BODY, and FRAME) purchased from different vehicles. The

vehicle make, identification number and year mustmustmustmust be included in the bill of sale.

In addition, the Specially Constructed Vehicle Affidavit, form TR-91, is required from the

applicant stating that the component parts are from separate vehicles.

Vehicles manufactured with unitized bodies (body and frame are one unit, AKA: uni-body,)

will be required to have the title to such vehicles. If the uni-body vehicle has been "junked,"

the applicant must provide proof the vehicle was junked. This proof can be verification

from state or county, or a copy of the Nonrepairable Vehicle Certificate1111. IN ADDITION TO

THIS PROOF, the applicant will need a bill of sale2222 from the person the applicant purchased

the uni-body vehicle from and a bill of sale2222 from the person the applicant purchased the

engine from.

1111 The body and frame of a uni-body vehicle that has been designed and titled as Nonrepairable CANNOT be used to assemble or construct a vehicle. The only major component part from a uni-body vehicle that may be sold is the drive train. The body and/or frame are one component which meets the definition of two major component parts, which make up two-thirds of the vehicle.

2222 The bills of sale mustmustmustmust reflect the year, make and VIN of the vehicle from which the parts were obtained.

Two component parts used from the same vehicle do not constitute an

assembled vehicle and require transfer of ownership to be made by assigned

or reassigned title.

title, but the will has not been probated yet, the heir(s) may use the Decedent Affidavit, TR-

83a, to retitle one (1) vehicle from the name(s) of the deceased into the names of the heir(s).

probated.

All heirs must be listed on the affidavit (see HEIRS later in this section). The heir(s)

spouse(s) cannot be added when using a Decedent Affidavit. Only direct heirs will be

and their spouse.

The surviving heir(s) may obtain a title only or title and registration for the vehicle. The

spouse of the deceased is the only heir that is allowed to transfer tags from the original

registration of the vehicle.

vehicle will need to complete either a letter disclaiming interest in the vehicle or a bill of

value of the estate would be, but is not limited to, vehicles, other personal property, real

property, investments, cash, life insurance, etc.)

All heirs must be listed on the affidavit (see HEIRS later in this section). The heir(s)

and their spouse.

The surviving heir(s) may obtain a title only or title and registration for the vehicle(s). The

accurate.

if there is more than one vehicle. One vehicle may be titled using the Decedent Affidavit
