Hi all and thanks for the help in advance.

Got a TZE165V101129 that I bought in New Mexico and was tilted as a 1976

Transferred title in Nevada (where I live) and the call it a 1979-did not
see this mistake till after I got my docs in the mail.

Before I go to the DMV to get things fixed I want to know if I should really
try and get it registered as a 1975?

Thanks again for the help,
Bob Broadwell

It might be to your advantage to get it corrected just in case of future emissions testing. Arizona goes all the way back to 1967, but California (I think) cuts it off at 1975. Not sure if Nevada has emissions testing, but if they do, or enact it in the future, you might not have to test a '75 yet might have to test a '79.

Get it fixed while you can. With the BMV it might take a while. As an example I have a male friend whose first name is Terry. His renewal driver's license arrived in the mail listing him as female. it took him 6 years to get it corrected with the BMV.

My 1976 GMC as listed by New Mexico that became a 1979 thanks to the Nevada DMV
is now a 1975 according to the DMV here in Nevada as of today. Only took about 2 hours
to get it fixed so I guess I better go change my Sig file now.
