An example of unique state laws when registering kit/replica cars. I bought a pre-owned Cobra that was legally registered and titled, not using a title company, in Wisconsin as a 1966.

At the safety inspection, CT DMV did not accept the out of state registration/title documentation, after determining the Cobra was a kit car, and I had to register as a Composite, subject to all the regulations for these types of vehicles. The year first registered in CT then becomes the model year. There was no added value in this case in having a 1966 registration.

In 2007, with a great deal of hobbyist and business participation , the CT DMV regulations were modified to exempt CT Composites from emission testing.
