Ray,
You might try sending Bill, (MrMustang) a PM or E-mail as he is pretty much up on the laws back there. hey change so much from state to state is it hard for a person in one state to really answer a question about registration in another state.
As for the rest I had a Classic Roadster and loved it, but they are not built to the original specs. If money is no object then Kirkham or a Shelby would be my choice so far as value goes. ERA is also a very good replica and is built very close to the originals.
You might try looking on Cobra country if you haven't already and also the For Sale adds here. Best of luck on finding what you want. And welcome to the club.
