Glider titles

[[email protected]]

I was checking the particulars of salvage/reconstructed titles for automobiles in New Jersey when I found this under the "Special Vehicles" section

Titles for the special vehicles listed below are only issued by mail from the MVC Central Office in Trenton:

- Reconstructed vehicles-dune buggies, kit cars, etc.
- Glider kits
- Vehicles with missing VINs
- Vehicles registered to the military

Glider kits?

As used in truck terminology:

Large trucks delivered from the factory without an engine, transmission,
and portions of the drive-line and rear end.
A glider kit allows the purchaser to install new or used components
beyond the factory offerings. Often, to reuse components from a damaged
unit.

A page devoted to the explanation and reasoning:
