Mr Bruce,
Don't know about other states, but the MSO I received from E-M was issued by the state of Florida and it looked identical to a FL title except that it included info identifying the vehicle as a replica. My understanding at the time was that E-M had to petition the state (at my request) to issue the MSO on their behalf, so that they could transfer legal ownership of the incomplete vehicle (VIN number stamped on plate attached to the body) to me. I then had to turn in the MSO to the DMV when I went through the title process. Hope this helps.
