Introducing the MidnightAce Sand/dual sport car!

I assume it would come with a Manufacturer Statement of Origin with a serial number at a minimum which you would take to your local titling official. It would likely be some type of Special Construction title at that point.

Last car I bought had a title from Arizona, Wondering if it states Home Built or Custom Creation? or is this something I would have to tackle on my own in my state or Montana?

It’s going to be a state by state basis, but CA and AZ I know won’t call it a brandname from the MSO alone. The manufacturer needs to become registered with NHTSA as a manufacturer and jump through hoops, especially when it comes to emissions stuff in CA

Back in 2006, I put a deposit down with Tom Nyhuss of Tom Pro Designs for a two seater Hayabusa car and made sure to give him enough to cover the cost of the frame and the DMV paperwork that had a VIN for that frame.

He had to jump through a lot of hoops to get an handful of VIN's for frames he would complete in 2007 (new regulations for builders; Smog BS, etc) and I basically just bought that package ($6,000) instead of a complete car.

The Recession hit, I got involved with a woman that had a kid and we put the build on hold (can't fit three people in a two seat car) and bought a RZR. He then sold my frame and raised his prices saying I didn't give him enough $ for the frame and Title that he paid for (he raised the frame price to $6500). He kept all of my money... which resulted in a long phone call with the SLO Sheriff who now knows this guy's business ethics.

I lost $6,000 to see how this all worked (Builder Titles).

IN the past (with over 100) custom/production builds, the owners have just always taken paperwork to DMV themselves along with Receipts showing tax paid and did their own registration in whatever state they wanted..
