Why does every thread here devolve into a "Real" vs. "Replica" argument?

Well alright, already a self admitted "orange" so I didn't think it was that bad

Hi New Jersey DMV, I have a Shelby Continuation I would like to register here, how do I go about doing that?

It's pretty simple -
You call the NJ special titles division
You ask them to send you the "kit car package"
You follow the instructions
You trailer your car down to a specialty inspection station
You pass, you get registered

Cool! What will it be registered as?
It all depends on the clerk, it could be whatever you and the clerk decide. But our records will show it was registered using the kit car registration process.

AWESOME, thanks!

Here the state police came over and did the check in my driveway.

They loved it. They even offered to pace it at 30 against their certified speedo. I was dead on.

Two cars came with five troopers. Very nice people.

I got my Cobra in the middle of January and called the local Sheriff's station (our town used the Boulder County Sheriff for police). I talked with our chief (who was a BC sergeant) and asked if it was true they would come over for the VIN. He said "Yep, we've seen your car and want to look! I'll be right over! and he was there within 5 minutes. Gave him the nickel tour and he gave me the VIN verification form. I think I had to show him 3 places where the VIN was on the car (plate plus two stamps). Very cool guy. I had to attend most town board meetings as I was Planning Commission chairman and we sat next to each other in the "staff" area.

Registering CSX4206 was pretty simple in New Jersey -
