Kit Vehicles

Type One

A type one kit consists of a frame purchased from one individual and the rest of the components purchased from someone else or all the components may be purchased from the same individual. The parts are assembled such that the finished product resembles a factory Porsche, Harley Davidson, Shelby, antique vehicle, etc.

The vehicle owner will need to provide the DMV with the following:

The finished vehicle must be inspected by an authorized agent using a Form TC-661, Certificate of Inspection completed by a DMV employee, designated contractor, Utah peace officer, or designated enforcement agency employee, licensed dealer, or a certified safety inspector. Note that this may be completed by a DMV employee at the time of registration. The vehicle title will reflect the make as “SPCN,” the model year will be the year of completion and the model will be the “make code” on the MSO. The vehicle will also need to be issued a Utah Official ID number by the DMV office; this will need to be installed as directed by the DMV staff, then inspected by an authorized agent (as identified above).

Type Two

All the components are purchased in a kit similar to a model car (including the frame). The applicant will need to provide to the following:

  • The “Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin” (MSO) for all components, listing a 17-digit conforming Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).
  • A completed Form TC-569A, Ownership Statement, containing information pertaining to the construction of the vehicle, where or from whom all the components were obtained, and a completed Form TC-656, Application For Utah Title, and all original sales receipts.
  • A picture of the completed vehicle or, alternatively, bring the vehicle to a DMV office for a visual inspection.
  • Emissions Certificate.

All vehicles that are titled or registered in Utah for the first time are required to complete a Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) inspection. Form TC-661, Certificate of Inspection must be completed by a DMV employee, designated contractor, Utah peace officer or designated enforcement agency employee, licensed dealer, or a certified safety inspector. Note that this may be completed by a DMV employee at the time of registration.

Glider Kits

A glider kit is the reconstructing of a large truck or truck tractor by utilizing a kit and the power train of an existing titled truck or truck tractor.

When the vehicle is ready to be titled the customer will need to provide the following information to DMV; this may require more than one visit:

  • A copy of the dismantling permit, an old title for the used parts, bill of sale, or original sales receipts for parts.
  • A “Manufacturer’s Statement of Origin” (MSO) covering the glider kit.
  • A completed Form TC-569D, Statement of Facts, explaining what was done to the vehicle and from whom the parts were obtained.
  • A completed Form TC-656, Application For Utah Title, with an attachment that includes the complete description of the vehicle make, model, and year obtained from the glider kit MSO.
  • Pictures of the vehicle that clearly show the condition of the interior and all sides of the exterior of the vehicle.
  • Verification of the Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) using Form TC-661, Certificate of Inspection completed by a DMV employee, designated contractor, Utah peace officer or designated enforcement agency employee, licensed dealer, or a certified safety inspector. Note that this may be completed by a DMV employee at the time of registration.

In addition to the above procedures, all other title and registration requirements must be met, including payment of fees and sales tax. Sales tax is due on the amount paid for all parts, except for parts on which sales tax has already been paid.
