Joe, unfortunately, you couldn't register it here in CA as a 1965 Shelby Cobra, unless you were committing fraud. All kit cars are "specially constructed vehicles" here. Your legal title for your CSX4000 would be titled as SPCNS and the year that it was being titled. For example, my Kirkham is a 2007 SPCNS.

Of course, every state handles kit cars differently. Here in CA, they're considered "gross polluters" and require an exemption (500 allowed each year) in order to be registered and driven legally on the roads.

Kinda like a 2015 Camaro.
