A buyer could try to register that Cobra with a '65 Mustang VIN here in CA, anything is possible, but you don't know if that '65 Mustang was reported as destroyed or stolen. Also, if you're attempting to evade paying registration fees and taxes based upon the value of a '65 Mustang, instead of Cobra replica, then that's clearly defrauding CA of revenue that's due.
IMO, using the '65 Mustang VIN is fraught with peril and there's no guarantee that, even if you're successful in initially registering it, the State of CA won't find you and your car later and now you may have to find a lawyer to get yourself out of the legal mess.
