It was better for me 2 years ago. My car also came from out of state.
Yes, you will have to go thru the crazy inspection in Wethersfield for sure. I rented the side shields for the pipes, also came with the installable /removable baffles for the noise. ERA charged me 150.00 for these. The inspector did give me crap about the oil leaks but I did promise I was fixing them immediately. The other thing that almost failed me was no guard in the grill. They were very concerned about the fans and a kid sticking his hands in there. If you have the fans, take them out for the inspection!!!
That or install a grill...(no thank you)
Because it was already registered and not a new build, they waived me on all the receipt stuff. This was not a favor, it was standard procedure. They called this whole thing a courtesy inspection.
As far as what to register it as: The new law say you can register as the year it represents. I registered it as a 65 but it says composite somewhere on reg. This is good because it excuses you from emissions. Being register as a 65 also give you a flat assessment of 500.00 value which in my town comes to a whopping 13.00 a year in property taxes!!!
Hope this helps you and good luck!
