Replica Cobras have become a special class of car... SPCN. They are NOT 1965 anything but a replica of car built in 1965. It doesn't matter what state you live in. The only part of the car that assimulates an originally titled 1965 Cobra is basically the body and some engine blocks. Some more so than others. If your out of state title says it's a 1965 Cobra I would say it's part of the sherade. What does your insurance carrier call it?

The original thread by Mr. Morgester used the terms "sale of counterfit VINs, offering false instruments, perjury by declaration,and identity theft". This isn't just you or me with a bad title, but people doing this shady stuff for a profit. The people who unknowingly bought these cars have to then clean up the titles and deal with the mess. Innocent until proven guilty but I don't have a problem with this. This has been going on for some time and I believe the messenger here is being upfront with a warning to all...Clean up your titles. I don't understand why there can't be some sort of amnesty giving folks a fair opportunity to do so...allowing more than 500 SB numbers a year comes to mind or an allocation of special numbers for people who come with older titles already in the system. There is obviously a demand and the shortage forces some to try and beat the system.

Maybe an insurance guy could chime in about the position of their company when the so called 1965 Ford that you have been paying a minimum to insure turns out to be a SPCN built in 1997. Would your coverage become void if your car was misrepresented? I don't know.
