It DOES have it's advantages and should be considered over one with out, IMAO.
Bill, love your car, love the motor ( I have some of the Tunnel Port stuff), it will make a nice car for the right person! Hang in there!

Transferring title into NJ is easy, initial inspection (from an MSO standpoint) is still easy if you follow their rules. Where people get into trouble is when they attempt to register the car with Historic (QQ) plates in NJ. In order to do so you must submit pictures of the car, the folks at the special titles division (I know a few  ) are not stupid and will flag that type of application and send a friendly  NJ State Trooper to your home for an up close inspection of the car....Once they see it is not an original 60's Cobra (loopholes of yesteryear have been closed) then and only then have you opened a pandoras box of trouble and will have to retitle, reinspect, and jump through hoops you normally would not have to.
As for my car being on the market again, if it sells I'll be sad to see it go, if it does not at my current price, I'll continue to enjoy it as my time allows. I have other items I can sell if I really need to come up with additional funds.....
