[Sargie]

Thought I’d share my experience at the Connecticut DMV today. I bought an already built ERA FIA car previously registered in Maine. The process was very simple and straightforward. DMV does a courtesy inspection on any vehicle previously registered in another state. Any car must comply with all of the safety and build requirements meaning DOT tires, windshield, wipers, horn, fmvss seat belts, bumpers, heat shields on exhaust, etc. All of the information is on the CT DMV web site. With the car being previously registered they did not require receipts for any parts. I had a bill of sale and last registration from the previous owner. Maine does not title vehicles older than 1995. The car was registered as a 66’. They checked the vin my paperwork and completed the inspection without issue. As is noted on the DMV web site no emissions test is required. The model year 66’ and vin remain. They changed make to Composite model left as Cobra.

A couple of tips I learned: The inspection lanes in Wethersfield are open Monday through Friday unlike the rest of DMV Tues-Saturday. Go on Monday and get there early. They open at 8. There was no line, no wait. Have your paperwork ready and in order.

The inspectors were really nice to work with! Pleasant and professional!

I have an appointment Friday morning to complete registration. Looking forward to enjoying the new to me ride.
