Your info. is no longer correct. I went to the Dept. of Lic. and was given a copy of the rules that went into effect last year.
Quoted fron the D.O.L. rules - "Titles previously issued for Replica Vehicles have an "R" as the first letter of the make followed by what the vehicle looked like (RFORD for example); the year was the year it replicated; the series and body described the vehicle and may or may not include REPLICA, REP, tec. Since most (if not all) replica vehicles are made from kits, we no longer classify them as replicas. Any vehicle titled and licensed as a replica will remain as one."

They now classify the car as a "KitV" and the year on the title is the year that the kit was manufactured, not completed.

Everyone's best bet is to NOT go a D.O.L. office where they know all the new rules. Go to a sub-agent (there are a couple in King Co. that people have had success at) and hope they do it the old way and it's not kicked out of the their computer. I've did alot of research on this before I bought my car. The post by Ron Going was correct when he posted it but the rules have since changed.
