Go the MVD and get the title transferred to AZ and at the same time you can have it titled as a 1965.

Hold on Dan - That is a correct statement only for
newly issued AZ titles. Bruce says he has a Washington title that already lists the car as a 2004, so if he takes that title into the Az DMV office, then they are going to do a title transfer using the same 2004 model year, and YES, the car will then be subject to emissions testing. Arizona DMV will NOT change model years on any existing title, for any vehicle...
Bruce, it is more expensive to go the route I am going to suggest, but it is the best way to get the Arizona title to reflect the 1965 model year, and get you out of the emissions trap. What you need to do is take your car down to the Arizona DMV office, get it physically inspected, and then initiate the application process for a NEW title- Tell them the car has never been titled since it was built (They will ask you for an MCO/MSO sheet, so if you don't still have that document from Kirkham, then you will need to make up a story about that, as well), or tell them that you lost the title, or that you just bought the car on a Bill of sale from a guy in Alaska -
They will probably make you purchase a surety bond, which could run up to a couple bucks, in order to insure the title, but in the end, your Cobra will have an Az title with the model listed as SPCON, and 1965 as the model year.
I wrote detailed steps about this process before. Please read:
