Just got the Cobra re-registered in Las Vegas under the Replica Registration. For the last four years I have registered it as an "assembled vehicle - smog exempt" because I have a 1965 427 FE engine. However, each year my registration states I need it smogged. I have to go down to the Sahara DMV show them my paperwork and avidavit from the Ford dealer that it is in fact a 1965 engine. Get the smog exempt certificate for that year and go inside and register the cobra.

This year I re-registered it under the replica law and now I should not have to go through that every year. Should be able to register on-line now.

I was lucky.....got a tech outside that knew about the Replica law and a supervisor inside that knew the replica law. Total time at DMV......one hour, fifteen minutes!!!!!

By the way I'm #68 of 100. And all the people at DMV are convinced that the 100 vehicles under the replica law is 100 vehicles "period". Not 100 new each year like California. I believe #101 could have a major up-hill battle with DMV.
