Piece of cake registering in Hawaii or Oregon. In Hawaii it would be registered as a 1965, or whatever your current title say's it is. It will note that it's a "street rod", Hawaii's way of saying "kit".

Oregon accepted the 1965 title, no problem, but the title also notes it is "Branded" as a "kit car". Oregon's way of clearing the issue up.

In either case, like NJ, if you go in and claim you have a genuine 1965 Cobra and want historic plates, your gonna open up a can of worms, don't care what your current title says. These DMV people have been around the block enough to know what's up.

There are always exceptions to the rule, some folks get lucky in various states, get the Cobra registered as a genuine 1965 Ford, or whatever. But as each state, like Georgia is doing, contemplates how to handle these issues it could come back to haunt those that "got lucky" when the DMV starts to dig a little deeper, look a little harder.
