I won't tell ya or suggest what you should do in any given state or Georgia. Do what you gotta do to get it registered, I guess. If your feeling pretty lucky about the whole 1965 thing and thats what it takes, knock yourself out.
In Hawaii we couldn't register a "kit car" of any kind, including Dune buggies, on Oahu until just a few years ago. Now a few of us who DID have replica Cobras came up with various ways to "get-r-done". One fellow simply walked in and declared he had a 1965 Ford, got it registered! That didn't work for the next guy. Some registered out of state, most of us registered in a different county (Kaui, Maui, Big Island). Point is, anyway you did it, it was fraud, straight up. OK, we all go lucky. Not so much in California though, when the State cracked down on the whole 1965 title deal. SPF owners in particular, had their cars confiscated, police showed up with arrest warrants, man it got SO ugly!!! THAT CONTINUES, do the fraud, be prepared to do the time. Will they check out the previous owners and history of the car? California did, and people got busted, seriously.
This 1965 title thing is not to be taken lightly, it all depends on the State you live in and their rules/laws. Do not assume a 1965 title is the ticket, it may be a complete disaster.
"We", the local Cobra owners in Hawaii, got political, got a law passed, got our cars legal. That took well over a year, but we did it. Fought the politics tooth and nail doing it, but we prevailed in the end. Until then, we kept a low profile with our cars. The guy with the 1965 Ford? He came clean when there was a law that allowed it.
Risky business fooling around with a 1965 title, ya feeling lucky?
