I got this vehicle from California and it was titled and registered under a "SPCN" which mean a specially constructed vehicle. When I brought it up to Washington, DMV here does not recognize "SPCN" so they titled it as a KITV.
With that said, Washington State Patrol did not want to release my title to me.
Now I'm stuck with a vehicle to sell which I don't have the title for but I do have all pre-existing documents showing that I did purchase the vehicle. (notarized bill of sale, copy of the Certifacate of Title from previous owner, and my name under the current registration)
How can I sell this vehicle without a Title? Will DMV accept a Notarized Bill of sale as a form of me selling the vehicle to the buyer?
Thanks in advance.
Suggestion:
Selling it isn't the issue. Selling it to someone who expects to get a tittle and be able to register it might be.
Ask your DMV. iVE never heard o KITV.
iN MY state, any car 75 or older can be registered with just a bill of sale. They don't issue titles.
As long as people can register it with the DMV And get a tag, a bill of sale should be fine.

When selling a vehicle you must by law provide a clean title within 30 days. Stop being a con-man. You are also required in any and all states to disclose prior salvage or reconstructed titles. Just because another may not carry the reconstruction from one state to another you still must disclose a reconstructed title.
You are a perfect example why you ALWAYS buy from a dealer. Dealers must comply with all laws so they do not lose their license.
Last ? NO- A Notarized bill of sales is not a title and is totally worthless. You must by Article 49 section 580 of the federal odometer law, disclose miles on secure paper (title) making your bill of sale worthless.
Also it tells me you did not get a title in your name. So you are skipping the sales tax you need to pay. That's fraud.
This will be hard to do. but you can still get a title. This type of vehicle is either a kit car{build yourself} or dune buggy{which has regulations in some states} or has been modified by an individual and not a professional, for instance, if someone had two vehicles with compatible parts say for example, olds and a buick, and did major work where one wouldn't be able to tell the difference, they didn't check local laws, and got denied my their local dmv,and now your in the same boat. check out my sources below…
