The year of registration severely limits the market for my car. I checked with the DMV in Georgia and there is no way to change the title to an earlier year. That is the reason for the lower than market price, not the condition of the car.
Well it is your car and you can price it as you please, but you are leaving money on the table. That is a mid-fifties car all day long and will sell for that if offered in the right venues. The "2007" title is not the big value detriment you may think it is. Many states register as "year of build" as opposed to "year of replication". One of the great entertainments to me is all of the "Cobra 427 S/C" replicas registered as a "1965" when the "S/C" did not exist nor was sold in 1965!
