thank you much gentlemen for your replies.
The car was purchased new from backdraft racing in Florida about two years ago.
I didn't think this would be a problem but I spoke with Jay at vintage in Connecticut and he said there's a chance it would not go through.
So I called back draft in Florida and a very helpful Reg explained that Florida has some type of sema law that allows you to register a reproduction car as the year it is reflecting.
And this vehicle was properly registered there as a 65 roadster, but he is unsure of New Jersey's current laws.
just thinking about it though a recent Vin number would be quite a bit longer than a Vin from 65?

it seems like I can just convert, but I sure would like to be sure
