Everyone above is correct.

Get it inspected first, tell them you want it registered as a 1965 Ford Covertible, inspection will only be checking the vin and thats it, they didn't check any other part of the car.
Inside, don't provide any additional information other than what they ask for. The only thing they ask for from me was the value (shoot very low) and a certificate of origin (mine was a new kit).

That's about it painless and cheap!
Best of luck, Bill
