"The fact is ,it's not a 1965."

There is the crux of the debate! Different states determine the year of a title on a kitcar different ways. Some say it is by year of origin (when you bought it and got an MSO), some say by year of completion (first inspection) and some say by year of motor. Fla was the latter when I lived there. Regardless of when you bought or completed your car, if it received a 1965 sideoiler, it was a 1965. I do not see how Virginia can override a legal title from another state like this. I DO however see Shelby Auto's concern about bogus titles showing up with Shelby's name on them. In this case, I cannot see how VA can legally rescind a Fla title that is and was always legitimate. If this can happen there will be a backwash of title challenges whenever some idiot in any DMV wants to cause a stir.
