New Classic Roadster Owner

J.T.,

Quit scaring the new member. Jim welcome to the club and you will enjoy the car, but the title can be a mess. First find out what year the engine in the car is. If it is 66 or older, you can title it as a 2005 with pre smog exemption via engine year. But if it has a 302, then it wouldn't be a pre 66 engine. There is a member who just advertized a 1965 289 block for sale on here. Going the engine year route is about the only thing you can do as the 500 SB-100 numbers were gone by noon of the 2nd day. And it will just get worse as the backlog of people with cars tries to get them. Do the math. Just 500 numbers per year and 35,000 peope wanting them and that number will grow each year as new people buy or build cars. And it is not just Cobras but any kit or special construction car that uses them. And if your engine should be a 74 for example, you would be required to have all the emissions equipmwent on it that it originally came with. And you would also have to have it smogged every other year to the 74 standard, which isn't to bad if you keep it tuned up. As for the roll bar, that would require some careful work to not crack the paint around the holes you will have to cut.
