DaelB:

To clarify, the situation related to in this Thread applied to application of the model year law ( effective 10-1-09 ), year of production vehicle that kit car most closely resembles, instead of the year of registration being the model year. The challenges in implementation of model year registration did not prevent the kit car from being registered, only the model year assigned.

There are positives. As an example, a few years ago a group of hobbyists, Car Clubs and business' in CT were successful in obtaining an emissions exemption for all kit cars, providing written and in-person testimony to the Transportation Committee in the General Assembly. There are no limitations on the number of kit cars that can be registered using the exemption nor a procedure requiring advance approval to use the exemption.
