Ha ha,,,351W is good, many would say "better" than an FE for various reasons, others would raise a mighty protest. The biggest issue with an FE is cost (bring a BIG check)!

No difference registering a Classic Roadster in Calif. than any other "Cobra" with a CLEAN title, and a PROPER Vin. Where you get in trouble is with those "Cobras" that have an improper\questionable title and or vin number history. Now THAT can spell trouble in ANY state!

That issue applies across the board to ALL of them, Shelby CSX4000 and up, SPF, ERA or whatever! The paper trail from the MSO to the title needs to be "clean"! That is the FIRST item to check (and double check).

Unless, like what happened recently with some SPF owners in Calif. you want the police to show up in force at your house with a search warrant seeking information on your title!
