Rick,
Oh how I wish that were true for me. I was just told this on Tuesday, they will not title my car as a replica, which is the only designition that allows you to put on the title the year it is a replica of.

I filled out the form 82040 and gave them my MCO and my invoice, not good enough.

The DMV has not called me back so I don't know where I am now.

PS I also filled out that form. Oh and I have an FFR. I sent you an email

Mikey. It seems like you gave them too much information and maybe confused them. FFR is a manufacturer, and they manufactured your Replica Cobra. You assembled some components, and added the motor. If you simply drove it in, filled out the paperwork along with the MCO from FFR, and provided your insurance coverage, there shoudn't have been an issue. Don't understand it.

I just got off the phone with the regional office of the DMV. I am only one of many they have on hold.

The lady could not give me one name of a company that manufactures cars that would fall in the "replica" catagory.

What they want to title as a replica is a manufactured car, not a kit missing motor and tranny but a completed car. None of the companies do this that I know of.

As far as giving them too much information, I gave them a completed title application, a copy of the FFR invoice, the MCO, a blank check and then left. They said they would contact me in about 3 days to come and pick up my title.
