Titling any MODERN Cobra (built after 1967 by other than AC/Shelby) as purely a 1965 is fraught with all kinds of potential problems and it has nothing to do with the car being a 'kit' or a 'continution' or whatever you want to call it. People HAVE gone to jail for doing it incorrectly, others are getting away with it, for the time being. The laws vary from state to state, but make no mistake, it's playing with fire. A MODERN 1965 Cobra titled as such in one state and sold in California as a 'real' 1965 could be a serious problem down the road.
Shelby's MSO, as I understand it, correctly identifies the car as a 1965 MODEL, which should not be confused with year of build. Likewise Hawaii law recognizes my Cobra as a 1965 MODEL, but the title also specifies it as a 'street rod' (Hawaii's way of saying 'modern replica').
