I don't consider my Oregon Cobra registered as a 1965 Cobra, nor does Oregon nor would California. Nor would anyone else with half a brain...
It is a REPLICA, as noted elsewhere on the title. Many, or most, of the states that also register a kit Cobra as a 1965 Cobra very likely have a similiar disclosure somewhere on the title. "Street Rod", "Specially Constructed Vehicle", "Replica" or some other qualifying term.
I know for a FACT that in Hawaii and Oregon if your kit Cobra does not carry that qualifying statement somewhere on the title your title is invalid. Yup, there are SOME titles without a qualifier in many states, that does not make your car legal or correct, it's just smoke, mirrors and an incompetent DMV employee.
twoshelbys title is:
A. Not showing the qualifying statement as to what it REALLY is.
B. An illegally registered vehicle waiting for the stuff to hit the fan. You better jump on that amnesty thing while you can (if you were in California that is).
Take you pick...
