Thumbs up Fred is correct........

and thanks for doing the research and posting it. My Lone Star was due for inspection in May, 2002. It is registered and titled as a 1999 Lone Star roadster, 1966 Cobra replica.

I went to have it inspected on Friday at the local Jiffy Lube around the corner and the technician said, after looking at my proof of insurance, Ok, it will need to be inspected in accordance with 1999 requirements. I then pulled out a prinout of this thread, Freds post, and a copy of my title showing 1966 Cobra replica, and requested he call T.D. Stevens or Gary Franklin of the Texas Department of Public Safety, Motor Vehicle Inspection Division, Region 1 - Garland @ 214-861-2440.

He did as I requested and within minutes received confirmation that the vehicle is to be inspected as the year represented, 1966. NO EMISSION TESTING!

That done, he did the Safety Inspection and I was out the door and back on the street with my sticker affixed to the windshield.

This is a great example of the power of communication and the effectiveness of sharing information on this forum. Thanks to Brent and Fred.

Jim
