So I went in person and they said they have no record of my car. My father owned since 1985, and then I had owned it for about 10 years. I renewed and drove it every year. Then it just disappeared from their records. I had to pay $950 to establish a new registration for it. Gotta love the DMV.
Something similar happened to my buddy with his basket case Knucklehead. He took it off the road for nearly 10 years. Then when he went to renew the tags he had to pay for those 10 years plus a penalty!
