No, you are wrong, probably he has registered his Replica as "Original 1965 Shelby Cobra" !!

Yeah, amazing what happens when only facts are present  (except for this comment from the peanut gallery.)
So far so good.
What I see is that there are some places that have endorsed or recognized the "year it represents" more than others. It would be interesting to see a state by state comparison of exactly how they are interpreted.

My FFR is titled in Arizona as a 1965 Shelby Special Construction Roadster. The "first registered" date is 06/1965. No DOT or smog inspections required. Plates are historic.

My Classic Roadster II is recorded here in Idaho as a 1965 Ford Cobra Convertible with a "blind" note as being a Replica.
The car was produced in 2005 and came up from the SF Bay Area where it had a year make assignment as 2005.
It has the SB100 assignment but here in my part of Southern Idaho we don't have smog stations.
The gal at DMV really had a hard time trying to assign it.
To be straight I did not solicit the "1965 Cobra" title. That is the way it's done here in Idaho.
When I'm asked about the car and is it real the proper reply always is "it's a Classic Roadster II 1965 Cobra Replica" One person told me I was wrong and it has to be an original. I thought about correcting him but then.....
And yes, my son and drove it back home. What a kick of a road trip. 800 miles.

My SPF is registered in PR as a Ford Shelby Cobra 1965. Same in the title of ownership.

True, here is what an MSO looks like:

My MSO also identified my car as a 1965 Shelby Cobra and the IL Sec of State titled it as such.

But, it should be known that Shelby's sleight-of-hand here was to claim that "1965" was the model number rather than the year. Pretty standard operating procedure for him. Had he designated the cars "Best-ever Shelby Cobras" the title would have said that instead.

Actually, the continuation series MSO says Model Year: 1965
There may still be some slight of hand involved but it clearly says year and that's the DMV uses, at least in my state. |

My state, PA, would not title it as a "65. The other line on the title says, " component vehicle without engine or transmission".
The other sticking point was the date on the MSO, "2006". If there is something PADOT does not understand or has never seen before, it gets rejected. It can however be titled, but not with Antique status.

This is where titling and registration becomes an issue. An MSO from a manufacturer such as Ford states the car is a "New Motor Vehicle", as such passing all EPA, DOT, safety and various other requirements needed to put a car directly on US roadways. An MSO from Shelby calls (correctly) the product a "component Vehicle", and as we all know needs a minimum of engine, trans and related parts to make the car mobile. This can be installed by one of Shelby's dealers but the "component" status does not change.
Shelby has only built one complete automobile since 1967/8 and that was the Series I.

It's ironic that everyone sweats over how to properly lable their car; what name to tag it under; should I call it a Shelby, a Cobra, a replica, a kit, a street rod, a hot rod, a Fakeydo, an ERA, etc. I suspect over 90% of our cars have "Cobra" emblems all over the front, rear, sides and steering wheels. Next we may all have to remove them out of political correctness.
