Karlos's suggestion in the thread that Dan linked to:

You shouldn't have any problem, but I would not offer any more information than they specifically ask for. Take the car for inspection, without any license plate on it and don't mention that its already titled. You may want to remove a vin sticker, if there is one and the inspector will issue a new number, corresponding to the new title. Just thinking these ideas might avoid complications. I may be off base with these ideas, but its what I'd do in the situation.

Is basically the same advice that I offered, and it should work to get a new SPCON title, with the 65 model year on it.
But I stress again, that the OP said he already
has a title, and when you take an EXISTING out of state vehicle title into an Az DMV office, they will NOT change the model year - they will only do a title document transfer (which only costs 12 bucks, and takes about 20 minutes); but all the information from the out of state title will be transferred across to the Az title (unless the out of state title is 15 years old, or older, in which case Az would also begin the process of issuing you a NEW title document).
There is a difference between transferring a title, versus getting a new az title- they are 2 separate processes
EDIT- Another thing I thought of that is related to all of this- If you go the route of getting a new Az title in order to change the model year, then you are also going to get a new VIN number that AZDMV is going to rivet to the car; and a new VIN number will mean that any existing insurance policies tied to the old VIN will need to be cancelled, and new insurance policies purchased.
