So, then, what's the problem? Take the title to DMV, register it as a 1966 whatever and pay the registration and use tax fees and you're done.
The insurance thing is another story. If you total it, the insurance company will pay you what it was worth at the time of the accident, Not what an original 1966 was worth, but what your replica was worth. If you represent it as an original 1966 for insurance reasons, you might want to look up the word fraud in the dictionary.
And, I don't know what happens in your town, but in mine, the local police walk car shows checking license plates and registrations looking for improper registrations, and they can tell the difference between an original and a replica. You might find yourself answering a few questions from time to time.
Probably not a problem, but possibly.
