Each state has it's own way of dealing with new on MSO and used "pre titled" Cobra replicas. Some will take the title at face value, others will force the new owner to retitle as his own state requires. I've owned Cobra replicas with all sorts of titles, none have ever been a problem when following my state guidelines for each one. So to re-answer your original question, no, it really is not that big an issue any longer, unless you plan to sell it overseas, at which point certain countries (Germany for example) and their respective buyers will search out a 60's titled Cobra for tax and emissions purposes.
