Doug, next time we have breakfast I'll tell you why I did what Mike is doing.

Mike, I was told (and I think this is correct) that although the new law says 100 per year, the legislators later agreed that they'd meant to say 100 total, so when 100 replicas have been registered there will be no others until someone lets their registration lapse or the car is sold out of state or crashes, etc. In the fine print on the RD-237 it says:

"The replica vehicle registration is limited to 100 vehicles. Because of the limitation, if at any time for any reason your vehicle registration status is not ACTIVE you may lose this indicator. If you lose the indicator you will have to reapply when your vehicle registration is returned to active status. The Department does not maintain a waiting list."

My indicator was number 39 on March 28 2008, which was about 10 months after the law went into effect, so they're not going very fast.

Under the replica law, the title WILL say ASVE, but it will list the car as a 1965 (or whatever year) Cobra, so your insurance would be unaffected and it will be smog exempt.
