That doesn't fly in CA, so that car cannot be legally registered in CA with that VIN#. Pre-dates SB100 rules, but I don't believe you can affix a 1965 Mustang VIN to a Cobra replica and register it in today's world. Red flag!

Dang, alright. Boy I'll tell 'ya, this buying a Cobra stuff is just fraught with peril. I think hauss better go back to the motor home idea.

Here you go, red with white stripes. And it's a coveted Brazilian Glaspac -- very rare. https://www.ebay.com/itm/1966-Other-...5a1lad&vxp=mtr

Just wait a few minutes, another blue/white SPF with SB100 will be listed for sale.

I think the color combo and SB100 exemption should be relatively easy to find here in CA in the next few months, but finding a seller who's NOT full of $hit, especially a Cobra seller, could prove difficult.

Nope, I've come full circle. I think a Cobra is absolutely, positively the wrong choice for him. A Corvette, Porsche, or better yet, an old Mercedes convertible... but not a Cobra.

Actually you should be able to get it registered at a Friendly DMV by using the SB-1578 which also uses the SB-100 numbers but was written just for this purpose, to allow people buying out of state titled cars to get the registered legally. With the usual ton of paper work and wheelbarrow loads of money.

A buyer could try to register that Cobra with a '65 Mustang VIN here in CA, anything is possible, but you don't know if that '65 Mustang was reported as destroyed or stolen. Also, if you're attempting to evade paying registration fees and taxes based upon the value of a '65 Mustang, instead of Cobra replica, then that's clearly defrauding CA of revenue that's due.

IMO, using the '65 Mustang VIN is fraught with peril and there's no guarantee that, even if you're successful in initially registering it, the State of CA won't find you and your car later and now you may have to find a lawyer to get yourself out of the legal mess.
