I bought mine in MO and then moved the title to IL.  It was listed as a 1965 already in MO, so that helped.  I live in Rockford and am not part of the emissions testing program (they seem to think Rockford is cleaner than Chicago).  I went through this 5 years ago, so some things may have changed.
I want to invite you to the WCCC Holiday Party on Jan 26 at 5:30.  Please see the post I just made giving details about this event.  You may also email me at 
cobradreamer@gmail.com and we can get you in the event and hopefully the club.
