Actually no. There were no errors. The car, which was assembled by a builder you most likely know up in your area of the state, managed to get the car registered as a '65 Cobra. He sold it to me with just a bill of sale and the CT Early American registration form. I paid the 'real' sales tax based on the bill of sale (no fudging of purchase price by either seller or me) and flew through the re registration process at the DMV. No inspections of any sort were required. Basically all that happened was the simple transfer of an old used car to a new owner (no title was issued as the car was a (Um mm) '65 and older cars in CT don't get issued titles any more). I requested Veteran plates when registering it and paying my sales tax as opposed to the Early American plates the car once had (the car was obviously not 25 years old so why poke the tiger with a continuing paper trail). Getting Early American plates for it now (while most likely doable) would seem to compound that which could be considered a fraud. I'm tempted to try because my property tax on "this most rare of beasts" will most likely continue to climb due to the "rarity" of '65 Cobra's. I have never received a notice requesting a smog test (that big old stinky 427 FE would fail while sitting still and not even running) nor have I received any correspondence from the DMV with questions about the cars VIN number (the VIN reads FFR----K) in my five years of ownership. So, should I give it a shot at the DMV and go for E.A plates or just pay my taxes and keep my mouth shut?

Registering a car from IL in MA
I'm about to buy a SPF outside Chicago. The owner has it registered as a 1965 (it has a 1965 427 side oiler). Do those of you with experiance registering in MA think I'll have to jump thropugh hoops, or because it is registered as a 1965 in another state will I just be registering a "used car".

If the vehicle has already been registered in another state with a Valid Vin# im gonna guess your all set , the RMV will see it for what it has been registered in the past and will continue it as such.The problem with a "New" Replicar in mass is that it Does not have a Vin and needs to be assigned one from the State Police Inspection to make it a "Real" automobile.Until it gets that Vin its just a pile of Nuts and bolts and paint in the State of Mass eyes.Does that all make sense ?? I would let well enough be and not open a can of worms....If the car your Buying is Legit in all aspects than its no different than buying a "Used" Toyota...Honda ...Chevy From another state and bringing it into Massachussets.

Thanks for the insight. I hope you're right I'm on a 7:00am flight out to Chicago tomorrow to close the deal and get the car ready for transport. Excited but anxious about the registration process.
Has anyone actually gone through the re-registration process (or know someone I could contact)? Any words of wisdom?

I would agree, just go to the DMV with the Title and Bill of Sale in hand and perform the transaction as a simple Title swap and registration.
The car has already been titled and registered in another state so there should be no issue . If your insurance company provides the registration process let them do it.
