Not Ranked
The last guy I talked to at the DMV says mine should come through as "1965". My Superformance came with a MSO "Manufacturer's State of Origin" stating the car is a "Superformace" make, "Cobra replica" type, and "1965" year. He said that the state will probably assign a new VIN - it dependes on who happens to process the initial application. My Superformance has a Vehicle ID number on the MSO, but it is only 7 digits long.
I am not sure how the FFR will come through, though. I will ask next time I get a chance. Does it have an MSO?
The sidepipes should be ok. The state equipment list says, the muffler "..... should be able to effectively reduce the noise." I guess that will depend upon who checks out my car! A crankcase ventilating system is required for all 1964 and newer vehicles. That should be all I need for emissions equipment. 1968 and newer vehicles require more and more equipment, depending upon the year.
I work at a new car dealership, and talk to DMV people in Albany on a regular basis. A lot of the rules can be interpreted differently by different people at the DMV, as I have gotten different answers from different people.
I will keep you posted. As I said, I probably won't run through the process for another 30-60 days.
Have fun!
