If your purchasing an out of state Cobra , either previously registered or new, might want to familiarize yourself with the the CT DMV regulations for inspecting and registering a kit/replica Cobra in CT. Such as Bills of Sale for the engine, transmission etc., heat shields on the side pipes, accepting out of state titles/registration for transfers, new, etc.

CT issues a unique CT VIN for these vehicles, ERA would be aware of the specific steps, etc. and be able to share their recent experiences for CT transfers on pre-owned, new etc. The " Composites ", as CT refers to the kit/replicas, are exempt from emissions.

Currently, the year of registration becomes the model year of the Composite. As of Oct 1, 2009, the new regulations will become effective in that the model year will be the year the vehicle most closely resembles, not known whether the Make name will remain as Composite or ?. I am not aware if the new regulations have been finalized/published.
