Here is what I plan to do:
Backdraft Cobra Replica with a Coyote Gen 2 or 3 engine.
What I know:
To get it registered, it's gotta have SB100 and accepted as a 1965 (less tax, less insurance, no smogg, and noise is no issue). Correct so far?
Now how is this even possible when this is actually a 2020 kit car and a probably 2018 engine?!
Who went through this with a set up like this or comparable? What are the hooks?

First, off is your Backdraft dealer helping you through this process?
A benefit of Backdrafts is they are able to be titled as a 1965. At least that has been our experience with Backdrafts we deliver to our customers (not necessarily in CA...states each may have different requirements).
In addition there is a process to register as a 1965 Cobra as an alternative to local registration. And that is to register in Montana under an LLC. Very common process. Simply, an LLC is setup, your Cobra is registered in the LLC, Montana tax law applies, insurance is sourced in Montana. This is all managed for you through Deer Creek Corporate Services

Let me know if you have any questions. And if you have not yet purchased your Backdraft happy to help with that as well
