If I understand the question correctly, no impact on registration, driving, selling, purchasing, etc., etc,.For vehicles with a Model Year prior to 1981, registered as any other vehicle, but the state will not issue an official Title. For selling purposes, the state recommends using the current owner's registration certificate in addition to the Bill of Sale.
The Model year registration for kit cars was not retroactive prior to 10-1-2009, only new/pre-owned purchases after that date. Previously, the year of registration would also become the Model year.

Don,
What happens in your state if you were to buy a 1964 (whatever) from a private party? What do they give you when you go to the Motor Vehicle Dept., just the registration that you keep in the auto, license plates (if you do not already have them) and your current year tags?
In Ca when you buy a used auto. You transfer it into your name and at that time you receive license plates (if the auto does not already have them, there are a lot of variables to this which I am not going to get into), a receipt from the DMV (which acts as a temp registration until you get the permanent one in the mail) and your yearly tags. Then in the mail you will get an ownership cert and a permanent copy of the registration cert.
I am sure that all states are different in one way or another.
Too all, I am sur that in your perspective state your cars are registered leagal. The OP question was about buying a out of state Cobra replica that is registered as a 1965 and bringimg it into Ca. In Ca they will not/might not accepte it. If they do, great for you, until they come back and tell you it was incorrect. The best bet is to go through the SB100 process and register it correctly (in Ca.).
