(a) In the event that a motor vehicle manufactured prior to 1981 has not been titled in the State of Connecticut or, if a Connecticut certificate of title exists and the motor vehicle is transferred from one owner to another, the commissioner may, upon request, issue a certificate of title to the owner of such motor vehicle. The applicant for title to such a motor vehicle shall, for motor vehicle information, verification or validation, adhere to the following requirements: (1) Provide the commissioner with a Connecticut residence or business address; (2) Submit, along with the application for title, four (4) color photographs of the motor vehicle to be titled showing the front, rear, and both sides of said vehicle; (3) Submit evidence that the motor vehicle's identification number (VIN) has been verified by personnel of the Department of Motor Vehicles, or a licensed motor vehicle dealer in accordance with the provisions of section 14-99h(c) of the Connecticut General Statutes; (4) Submit evidence that the sales tax due upon such vehicle has been paid if said vehicle has not been previously registered in this state; and (5) Submit a sworn statement attesting to the fact that the vehicle is not a reproduction or replica and that the vehicle has been maintained or restored to a condition that substantially conforms with the original manufacturer's specifications. (b) Upon application by the owner for a Connecticut certificate of title, either a valid out-of-state certificate of title for the vehicle shall be surrendered or, if a valid out-of-state certificate of title cannot be surrendered, a surety bond shall be posted for said vehicle in accordance with the provisions of Section 14-176 of the Connecticut General Statutes. (c) In the event a Connecticut certificate of title exists and the motor vehicle is transferred from one owner to another, the new owner shall, upon application for a new certificate of title, surrender the former Connecticut certificate of title or, if the Connecticut certificate of title cannot be surrendered, a surety bond shall be posted for said vehicle in accordance with the provisions of Section 14-176 of the Connecticut General Statutes. |
