Florida Title

[FlaCobra]

Hello, I'm having a heck of a time trying to get my Cobra titled as a 1966. Anyone have any experience dealing with Florida and titling???

You want to fill out your title application (form 82040) for a REPLICA. DO NOT check the box for kit car. Florida defines a kit car like a Fiero/Lamborghini kit, where a kit is added to an existing car to make it look like something else. The FFR Roadster is a REPLICA. Using the REPLICA status allows for the proper titling.

Anyway, read this form for the details:
TL-48 Application for Title

In a nutshell, the title will state year the replica is supposed to look like (1965) and the year of manufacturer will go in the "notes" box.

Look at the Exhibit A form. You need this info when you walk into the DMV:
MCO/MSO, completed in your name (make sure it matches your FFR number)
Title application (HSMV 82040)
Your checkbook for FL sales tax, title fees, and registration (if doing so at that time)
