Registration question for NH cobra owners.

[johnnymac]

Hello,
I am in the process of buying my first Cobra. A bit excited.
The car is currently registered in Massachusetts as a 2005 kit car replica.
I was hoping to register as a 65 cobra replica in New Hampshire, I wanted to ask if there any way to do this? Or will it have to be registered as a 2005? I wanted to ask and get a clue before I go to the registry.

Thank you very much to all those that reply.

I recently talked with NH DMV to answer the same question and was told that if you buy a cobra from another state with a title identifying it as a 2xxx something, it CANNOT be retitled to a 1995 in New Hampshire. I was also told that if the motor is pre-1996, you have to get an emissions exemption each year when you get the car inspected by filling out a form along with proof of the engine's origin and bringing to DMV

My impression as well, you can't re-title a car as something else after it has already been titled elsewhere. If the car is older and has a 10yr or older title there is already an emission excemption in NH that require no additional form to file.??
