Early Vehicles

Vehicles valued principally because of the vehicle's early date of manufacture, design, historical interest, or value as a collector's item may be eligible to be issued a Rebuilder's Title when:

• The motor vehicle is not roadworthy, AND
• The motor vehicle is at least 25 years old, AND
• The components of the motor vehicle include at least a rolling chassis, AND
• No acceptable ownership document is available, AND
• The motor vehicle is physically located in Colorado.
• All steps on the Rebuilder's Title Checklist (DR 2187) have been successfully completed. 

After making repairs a new Certified VIN Inspection will be required.  

To obtain a Certified VIN Inspection for a vehicle in this category, it must have, at minimum:

• For cars/trucks: frame, body, steering mechanism, axles, wheels, and suspension

• For motorcycles: frame, front forks, motor, transmission, and wheels

Vehicles missing these components cannot receive a Certified VIN Inspection. Once the vehicle is rebuilt, it must be re-inspected to determine roadworthiness. Refer to the Rebuilder’s Title to Regular Title Checklist (DR 2186) for guidance.
