My ERA is a 1965 as registered in Hawaii, legally. Year first sold: 0000 I almost always take my title to a cruise in and whip it out to prove to apasser by that I do indeed have a 1965 Cobra, whilst (there's that word again) holding my thumb over the "year sold" part.
....NOT!
No one is impressed with a 1965 title notation. Who you going to show it too and when? The DMV lady could care less and you'll look like an idiot at a car show. While it sounds good, you aren't fooling anybody with a clue about Cobras. Frankly, I don't get it, why bother.
