Arizona DMV - Expert on kit cars

[MKS427]

Mine is titled as 1965 Spcon Cobra Roadster.
You will need receipts, certificate of origin from FFR, and take it to an inspection station. There is one at the DMV near 59th Ave and Bell. It's pretty painless, but bring a book or something, it can be a long wait.
Be prepared, they may charge you AZ sales tax too.
I don't understand how it can be registered, but not titled. The car has to be finished in AZ for inspection.

Right on the Registration, it says, "No title for historical class"

That means Connecticutt doesn't issue titles for historic cars (lots of states back east do that) but if there is a transfer of ownership form on the back of the paper, then fill it out, and take it with you to AZ DMV...

Mark-

You only need the manufacturer's certificate of origin when you are title-ing a car for the FIRST time- Once there is a title issued (in any state) that state keeps the MCO document- The MCO document is the largest piece of innaccucarate mis-information found on Club Cobra when it comes to titling a special construction vehicle. If you have an MCO, then great- If you don't have one, then don't sweat it.

Anyone can get an SPCON title in Arizona without an MCO. I've done it at least 5 times over the past 20 years.

Rob- What you need to verify is that the vehicle ID number printed on the Connecticut title/registration, matches a number (any number) stamped, rivetted, or otherwise attached to the car itself. If there is number on the title that matches a number on the car, then AZDMV will do a simple 12 dollar title document swap, and issue you title, tags and license plate; but the year on the AZ title would still show 69, same as the year on the connecticut title (which isn't really a big deal since 69 is still old enough to get you out of doing the annual emissions test in Arizona)

Hope this helps

One thing to add regarding MCO's.
When you buy a new production car the dealership sends in the MCO.
A replica car MCO will show the date, buyer's name and address.
If you are the 2nd buyer of a yet untitled replica car from original owner in possession of the MCO, original owner must sign/date to match the Bill-Of-Sale for it to remain valid for DMV submission.
If the MCO is unsigned due to original owner's passing or whatever, it's not a showstopper but DMV will likely not accept it as it was intended for.

My 69 F100 is required to pass emissions (it failed, FYI). I think the cutoff is 1967.
