It's optional to obtain a title for vehicles from 1963 thru 1985. Georgia does not issue titles for anything 1962 and older. You can see their explanation of it here

Maybe someone has mis-read the list of what Georgia does NOT title?

Homemade car/tow dollies

Maybe they read it as "homemade cars" ... AND ... "tow dollies" ?? Just sayin. The idea of Georgia saying they will no longer title a kit car is a little strange to me.

If you want to register your NEW vehicle in GA - ie: your "kit, replica, whatevr you want to call it" car is to be titled the year is was completed/inspected, then this shows what is needed. Georgia makes NO provisions for replica vehicles as far as titling, registration, or emissions go.

If you title your replica the year is was completed and live in the 13 counties (metro Atlanta), Georgia will require it to meet emission testing standards. If you live in the other 146 counties in Georgia that do NOT require emissions, then hey ... you are good to go.

For registrations, if you walk in to the tag office with a Bill Of Sale and Insurance (vehicles 25 yrs and older are exempt from emissions testing) for a "196-something Cobra" - Georgia will issue a registration (tag). The current system can only identify 17 character VINs. They will NOT issue a title based on a Bill of Sale.

BTW - do NOT take what I put here online as the final word. You will be acting on your own regards. Do NOT print this out and wave it the face of someone at the tag/title office. I am merely offering links and ideas of HOW TO obtain a title or tag for your Replica Cobra.
