Default Exempt Brand Title

Does anyone here know what an exempt title is? Does it have something to do with emissions? We bought a 65 Mustang in May/06. We registered it in the state of South Carolina and a new Title was sent. Today we got a letter from the DMV that the Title is Revoked due to Exempt Brand and a new title will be issued. There was no reason on the letter, maybe it will be on the title. Does anyone have any idea what this could mean?

Not sure but I am interested in what you find out. I recently boiught my son a truck. 88 F-150. We got it at a Goodwill auction. They wrote on the title, "Exempt" in the mileage are. I do not know what that means. I'll be checking back. I have not re-titled it yet.

Granted it's Georgia, but I found these directions on the web for filling out a Georgia Title Assignment...

The following information should be entered in the applicable spaces in the title assignment:

The vehicle's odometer reading at the time of sale or ownership transfer. Please do not include tenths of a mile. The word "exempt" should be entered instead of the odometer reading only when the vehicle is exempt from the odometer disclosure requirements of the Federal Truth in Mileage Act. Click here for a list of exempt vehicles.


When I clicked on the "click here" link, I got this info on the Federal Truth in Mileage Act...

Vehicles Exempt From the Odometer Disclosure Requirements of the Federal Truth in Mileage Act
The following vehicles are exempt from the odometer disclosure requirements of the Federal Truth in Mileage Act:

A vehicle with a gross weight rating of more than 16,000 pounds;
A vehicle not self-propelled (i.e. Trailer, etc).;
Vehicles ten-model years (10) old or older (e.g. Current calendar year minus ten (10) equals the first year model exempt.) In the calendar year 2003, 1993 and older year model vehicles are exempt. In calendar year 2004, 1994 and older year model vehicles will be exempt.
A vehicle sold directly by the manufacturer to any U.S. government agency in compliance with a contract's specifications and;
A transferor (seller) of a new vehicle prior to its first transfer to a retail customer need not disclose the vehicle's odometer reading (i.e. Sale of a new vehicle from one dealer to another dealer before the vehicle is sold to the first retail customer).
When completing any document or form providing a space for an odometer reading, enter the word exempt when the vehicle is exempt from the odometer declaration requirements. If the vehicle is not exempt, then an odometer reading must be entered and the appropriate box checked when the odometer does not reflect the total distance the vehicle has traveled.



Course that don't answer Susan's question, but should answer yours Color.

The new title came in. on the first issued, the mileage was on the title. On the second, the mileage was not. So I assume the mileage is the exempt issue here.
