I understand in Calif some people have been able to register the car based on the year of the motor. Other "rumors" have it as based on the year the car represents. It does seem to vary even within state.

Registered as a 65 is really GOOD in a number of ways. The insurance company needs to understand exactly WHAT they are insuring by the way. If the car is totaled, how much you think a 65 "Ford" is "worth" in THEIR book?

Now in Hawaii a 1965 "Ford" with no other details COULD be a red flag. The DMV would likely want to SEE the car, they will know in an instant something is wrong with this picture. It's doubtful they would accept it as a "65". It's "crap shoot" over here how it might go with DMV.
