A couple of things:
1. What is a "yellow sticker"?
2. If the car is titled in your name, I don't see why that you would have to worry about paying sales tax, i.e. if it's titled, doesn't that mean that sales tax should have been paid already?
3. My cobra has been titled in 3 different states now; not one of those states cared what the prior state called it, I don't think "1984 Homebuilt" will be a problem
4. There was talk of needing to have my car inspected by some ASE Certified Tech; I found that that only applies to new built/never been registered cars. Since my car was already titled in another state, there was no need for any "special" inspection.
5. I think all you need to do it bring it to any inspection station and ask for a "regular" inspection.
6. Bring proof of inspection, previous title, proof of insurance, etc., and I would bet you will be OK.

Good luck!

BTW, I don't recall that I needed to provide any proof that I paid sales tax previously.
