transferring title Florida to New Jersey

[Chaplin]

If FL has a SEMA law and the car is legally titled in FL as a 1965, you should be able to transfer the car to NJ and have it titled as a 1965. At that point, you are subject to 1965 emissions, which means you need a PCV valve.

To add to this, you still need to respond as to exactly what the title reads as I posted above. Only then will we be sure what NJ will say. If the word replica is mentioned at all, then most likely (with 95% certainty) NJ will make you go through it's current "pre inspection" process like any fresh build. If the word replica or kit is not mentioned, then they will take the title at face value. Do not however expect to get "QQ" plates for it, as that requires you to send in pictures of the car to the special title/plates division and that could throws up a red flag that gets your new NJ title revoked, or an audit to find out why you did not pay the proper sales tax on a true "1965 Cobra" value.

AGAIN!!!!

His registration card should have the same information listed on it.

For what it's worth, I registered my Unique Motorcars Cobra 427 S/C in Nov 2010 after I picked it up.... The DMN ladies (why are DMV staff always women??) were clueless. I had to "guide" them in the Florida law for registering a replica and if the replica is of a 25+ yr old car, it gets an antique tag. They ended up typing in what they want.... so here's my FL Tag info:
Yr: 1965
Make: UNQU (for Unique)
Primary Brand: REPLICA
Body: 2D

One nice "law" in Florida is they allow the yr of the car and an old tag of the same year to be registered.... so I bought a 1965 Fl tag off ebay.... and had it registered to my Cobra. I did the same thing for my 56 T-Bird. (see below)
