Title and state inspection requirements

[am9648]

In the market to purchase a pre owned cobra but one question persist in my mind, what year should the cobra be registered as and does it have to meet current emissions standards.

I have seen cobra claimed to be registed as mid 60's and others with late model registration. If it is registed as late model how does it affect the state inpection.

Anyone shed some light on this subject.

You can't register them as a 65-66 anymore. You will have to register it as the year it was built. They have pretty well closed the loop on Assembled/replicas with 60's titles.
What does the the current title say? If it's in Texas just pay the taxes and transfer it.
As far a inspection they go off of your insurance card. Get your speciality insurance company to say 1965/66 whatever on your insurance card. Then it requires a safety inspection only. Around $13.00. Just do a search on Texas Titles here and there is a wealth of reading.
Hope this helps
