I have a street legal title from Pennsylvania that Florida who will not recognize. They will only register it as a parade vehicle. I want it as a street legal vehicle here in Florida where I live. Any suggestions?

I'd take what they will give you.
You have 3 options.
Enjoy your new parade vehicle.
Enjoy your new off road vehicle.
Sell your new vehicle.
#1 sounds better then the other 2

You will get a street legal title in Florida, but as you have found out that it can only be registered and plated as a Former Military Vehicle. You could be in for even more of a challenge registering it if the previous owner modified it from the original military condition. It has to be inspected before they will register it. Some inspectors are more strict than others.

It is all black now but I don't know of any other modifications. A mechanic here knew a guy who tried to register it for me through a Vermont loop hole and That is still pending. He guaranteed me it could be done so in the meantime I put air conditioning in it.

I have not found that yet. Does that mean I should not have put my original question in about how to register it?

Well I just read to the rules and saw the comment about military Humvees being off Road only. Maybe my case is a little different since it has a Pennsylvania Street legal title. I would not have purchased it had I known I could not register it here in Florida is a street legal vehicle also, but hopefully something will work out.

Most likely one sold as "off road only" and the title washed through a state that doesn't care about the hold harmless agreement . But as you found out Florida don't care if another state will register it they do how they want. More and more states are refusing to register them and revoking plates from ones that have been registered.

I think that was sarcasm about living here with out of state plates.
