Default Real CSX4000 Title Read???

Quick question,

If I had an original '66 CSX car (yeah right), what would my reg./tiltle say for the "make"?
Ford, Shelby, 427S/C???

Just curious...


Thx,
Mike

(...you mean CSX3000, right?)

In 1966, the formal name of the car was "427 Cobra"; that's what appeared on invoices.

Can't help with what was on 'title'... did they have titles in CA. back then? .. they did not in NY.

Interestingly,

CSX 3104 is titled as a 1966 Ford Cobra.

Republic Ford in Houston titled as 1966 Shelby American Cobra Roadster. It all depended on what was typed in the original title application.

It would depend upon the individual practise of every DMV in each state. My CSX 2189, which has a Michigan title, reads: 1963 Ford 2 Dr. Rdstr.

I don't know about Dave Kirkham or Jim Maxwell but, after awhile, these cars often change titles with bills of sale. The title that you receive may be three or four owners old. The reason? Well, if you are not going to drive it on the street, what is the sense of registering the car and paying $10,000 in sales tax. It would probably make more sense to drive it without a plate and pay the fine five times a year than register the car.

Imagine the guy who brought the Daytona at Barrett for $4,500,000. In our state the registration would cost $225,000. Forget the tax and go out and buy a 427 car to drive as your street vehicle.

This is one of the reasons I like SC so much. State sales tax - $300 max.
