I've had my Contemporary Classic titled as a 1966 in Washington for almost 12-years. Collector plates for the last 8-years.
Now my story. I was at UW Dick's Drive-In pretty late one evening a few years ago and my battery was shot (too much storage time without the float charger), and the car decided it wouldn't start. Two Seattle Cops saw me sitting there, and after running my plate they decided that they had better ask me if I needed a jump. They told me that they were concerned I may leave my car and the UW district was not a good place for leaving a original Cobra.
I quickly took the Po-Po up on their jump start, but never corrected their error thinking it may unravel my fortunate emissions-testing-free registration. Guess the snake passed the old question we constantly are asked, "Is it an original?" Of course when I''m feeling ornery over being asked again, I like to answer, "You tell me," and see if they can.
Enjoy the lifetime Collectors Plate and not needing a front plate! Not putting a front license plate on my Cobra is almost the best thing about the Collectors Plate.
