Just my 2 cents....

But when I registered my Shell Valley in January, the BAR referee had an issue with me getting the roller chassis and engine/transmission from the same company. He said that doing so made the car “turn key”. I had to explain to him and then prove with photos that I installed the engine myself and that it didn’t come already installed. Apparently that is the catch that is causing grief with buyers such as yourself.

I can see the issue that DMV is talking about, but I believe it is a silly rule. If you can buy a new Ford, Chevy or Dodge off a car lot (and they are turn key) then why can’t you buy a complete ready to drive Cobra the same way. As long as all the safety equipment is in place and smog requirements met, complete with proper certification.....what is the issue. DMV still gets their fees........

If all else fails, purchase the components separately, take the photos, put them together and reg the car.

Like I said, just my 2 cents.
