I need some help here. My son, Trent, has purchased a used, consigned BDR Cobra from a dealer in Connecticut . Built in 2012, it is being updated with new dash and gauges and will be delivered soon to AZ. Trent lives about a mile from me in Peoria, AZ. It is titled as a 2012 constructed vehicle in CT.
We have all seen similar questions about a re-title as a 1965 SPCON, which is what we want. We have read the subject in threads such as these and they are helpful, written by knowledgeable, experienced owners, but still confusing.
I went to a third party DMV office and they were firm in title transfer ONLY as current title from anywhere.
AZ. Registration
New Cobra Title & Registration in Arizona
Can the titled year be changed in AZ?
After reading every entry, I’m still confused.
1. Can he drive the car to the DMV upon arrival or does he need a DMV pass?
2. Which DMV should he take it to? We understand it must be inspected. It seems the DMV and inspector is a gamble.
3. Which Level inspection does he need? Is appointment needed?
4. I assume he doesn’t need to pay tax since the title shows a private seller.
5. Does a show of Classic Car Insurance help?
6. Perhaps we need not worry about the year, Cats, emissions, inspection?

Thanks for your input
