Hey PJ.
First thanks for your service to the country and second there are several 'roadsters' in the E. Haddam area. Bought a house in E. Haddam recently and know of at least four (including mine) roadsters, 2 ERA's and 2 FFR's that prowl the Essex to E. Haddam area.
If you could or would like to register your car in CT as a 1965 you will not be issued a title because of the cars 'supposed' age. Early American or Antique registrations might be considered fraud by the DMV or tax folks (that should make SB 1081 interesting if it ever gets signed into law). With that in mind all you'll get is the registration if the car is "25 years or older". I don't know if that would seriously impact the cars re sale value but it is a point to consider when registering especially if a potential buyer down the road is not a CT resident. Make sure you get Veteran plates (I have them on mine) in case you do something 'stupid' while playing with horsepower. Those plates seem to make the police much more friendly should you ever get stopped.
