Hi Ed,
For registering the vehicle/kit car in Illinois, you'll need the Manufacturer's Statement of Origin; a bill of sale or receipt showing what was paid for the vehicle/kit; proof that sales tax has been paid on the vehicle/kit (Illinois requires payment of sales tax as soon as the vehicle/kit is purchased, if not they can assess penalties); having a copy of Illinois House Bill 4344 from the 92nd General Assembly Legislation is always handy, as this is what allows you to title the car as the year that the body/kit represents and some of the DMV locations may not be aware it. I also took a printout of Shell Valley's web page that said their kit was a replica of a 1967 427 SC Cobra because their Statement of Origin just had it listed as a Shell Valley Replica 427 SC Cobra and didn’t specify the year..

I think I've covered the essentials.

Hope this helps.

Reed
