Don't know how much (if any) help we can be, but a little background info on the car's history will make it easier for us to give you some direction.

What model year is it titled as in NY?
What make?
What is the current VIN number?
Was it registered/titled in NY new from MSO or was it transferred from another state?
Are you the original owner?

I feel your pain, as does anyone here who has a correctly registered replica in NY. You "may" want to answer these questions in a PM, as we sometimes have NY DMV friends and "not so much" friends visiting us here on CC.

It is a time consuming, and sometimes difficult, but it is possible to properly title a replica in NY. You have friends here who can help!
