Everett Morrison (or any other replica manufacture) did not build a replica Cobra in 1967. Like I said, other states might let you register a replica as the year it "resembles" I.E. 1966,1967 or what ever, but California does not.

If you bring in a replica from out of state in 2013, California will register it as a 2013 SPCN. They do not care how another state registered it. If you do not want to add all of the smog requirments for California for 2013, then you go through the SB100 process.

That being said, some people may have gotten away with the older year registration, BUT, California "will" catch on and make you register it correctly. If you register it incorrectly, I.E. lie to them about the build year, you risk impoundment and confication of your replica.

Even CS himself could not register his newley built cars as an older one's. He tried it by saying that the frames were built in the 60's. California told him to take a hike.

Years ago there were companys that you could go thru to register a Cobra replica as a 1960's year but they got caught. A lot of those replicas were caught and now can't be registered in California at all "EVER". Those replicas are banned from ever being registered in California under any circumstances.

Take a chance, not me.

I sent you my contact information in a PM. I should be able to talk you through this in no time.
