I bought a Cobra that was built at a 1965 in Illinois, then moved to NJ and re-titled here as a 1965. I bought it from the second owner in NJ but kept normal plates on it. I didn't attempt to do the QQ plates because I don't want limits when I can drive it. My process took 5 minutes to fill out, pay tax, and walk back to my car. I'd recommend doing the basic plates if you can to avoid extra scrutiny.

My local mechanic provides NJ state inspections, but refuses to inspect kit cars. He says the state pressured him in the past so he directs all kits to Trenton for special inspections. This is obviously a very specific case, so call the garage ahead of time to see if they'll take you or not.
