The following information is intended for use only as a general guideline and we do not warrant the correctness of it. If you are intending to purchase a kit vehicle, assemble your own, build a hot rod or otherwise purchase a vehicle or vehicle components that are not already supplied with an official title, it is essential that you contact the appropriate authorities in your state or province.

Virginia follows the SEMA model legislation. In summary, this means:

1. A street rod is defined as an altered vehicle manufactured before 1949 and a custom as an altered vehicle at least 25 years old and manufactured after 1948. Most importantly, kit cars and replica vehicles will be assigned a certificate of title bearing the same model-year designation as the production vehicle they most closely resemble.
   
   
2. The law exempts street rods, customs, kit cars and replicas from a range of standard-equipment requirements. (only that equipment required in the model year that the vehicle resembles).
   
   
3. Kit and replica cars are subject only to the emissions standard that applies to the model year that they most resemble.
   
   
4. Vehicles titled and registered as street rods and custom vehicles may only be used for occasional transportation, exhibitions, club activities, parades, tours, etc. and not for general daily transportation.
