There are a lot of states, to include WA which require emissions testing on newer cars. It is worth money to me not to have to deal with emissions and continual related regulation changes. It would be a strong consideration for me in purchasing a car. There is no down side to registering it as a '60's. From my experience in owning many cars in 16 states, most states will accept and transfer a title on a car without changing specifics. To begin with, there's no way for them to take the time to figure out what a car actually is, with the exception of "kit" or "Assembled" titles. When given the chance on my Shell Valley, I had it titled it as a "1966 Shelby AC Cobra". No emissions, no licensing fees and collector car insurance (Grundy). This saved me at least $700 every year.
