some states will do that BUT it may not work for Simon........
Simon......on a title of a vehicle it will have the year manufactured (1965)
it will have date first sold (1965)
IF your date first sold is (2001) they may not buy the story that it's a 1965....
these are examples of what some states(and countrys) will not allow..........

Thanks rustyBob... I'll keep an eye out...
My current car is a 5.7, but now 17 years old... So registration is only 100$, but tax will remain at about 3500$ a year till it's 25 y/o
That is, if our lovely government won't impose some extra eco-crap tax to fill the deficit...
Enough of a rant, back on topic  |

Hey Scott Xlr8or,
Yes we DO have good taste...LOL. I wish the weather here in NY was as nice as yours. Sweet looking car Scott!
Just a quick note about the reg. issue in NY. No scam...mine is registered as a 1965 Ford. Went to DMV and registered it smoothly...I think they were more interested in getting the NY sales tax...YOUCH! Simon, as it is registered as a 1965 there is no formal title document in NY. It is simply a small registration form that is small enough to be kept in the wallet. Upon transfer of ownership, one simply signs it over to the new owner. Ahhh, the good old 1960's!
Also, as mentioned here in the thread, mine is a Roush 427R which, if memory serves, is a bored out 351, not a true big block. I don't know if that would make any difference to the powers that be in Belgium or whether they base their fees on the existing displacement.

Road tax here is based on displacement, not on the weight of the engine or something
In holland, I believe they use net vehicle weight.
In the UK, there are (were) only 2 rates: over and under 1.3L engines, IIRC.
The only "good" thing is that we have oldtimer registration, for cars over 25 years old... So for Rick's 427, that would be about 200$ a year instead of 5000$
And even at our silly gas prices, I could run a whole year for 4800$ worth of gas  (currently, about 8.00 - 8.50$ a gallon)
Most common cars here are 1.9 or 2.0 turbodiesels (about 550$ a year for tax), diesel is also quite a bit cheaper (5.70$ a gallon), and most of them get 40MPG

Will do Mike.
I'm doing a roadtrip from Miami to TX (Mexican Border) and back up to Dallas, in September, along the Gulf of Mexico... Too bad Florence AL is so far from the coast...
If any owners feel like meeting up, drop me a message

I know of the McCluskey as a club member has one. The fit and finish are not to be believed. It is an exact continuation of the 6 originals as Shelby sold 24 VIN numbers to McCluskey years ago. I have seen a Superformance and the McCluskey side nby side. No comparison. Very expensive and I hope you are not in a hurry.

Simon, I stumbled upon a european website for a coupe a while back, cannot remember for the life of me which country, could have been France or Sweden I think, but not sure, the website was more of a build thread style & the car was along original design chassis/alloy body etc, & the guy was doing a very good job of it. Might be a one only & it could be from Chucks plans-dont know.... just another thought..

Well it's not cheap, but it's a fair bit less than the Shelby chassis? |

Hello All,
Let me preface my remarks with an apology to the moderators if my comments are out of place.
I am faced with the possibility of having to sell my Coupe. My sister has been very ill for quite some time now and is rapidly approaching her lifetime max. medical insurance coverage. There is much more to this about which I won't bore you.
It is a family moment of all hands on deck! Thus I have begun to wrack my brain with various ideas on how to raise funds. When faced with such situations, luxuries such as toys/cars fade in importance.
I have not put the Coupe up for sale on any sites, including this one, but am trying to get a sense of interest and price. Clearly with winter setting in in most of the country, this is not the ideal season for selling such a vehicle and further, the economic anxiety continues. I have seen prices all over the place for SPF Coupes. There are a couple of photos of my coupe elsewhere in this thread. It is the white one with blue stripes.
I have rambled enough. Any comments and/or thoughts are welcome.
Best wishes to all for a safe, healthy, Happy Thanksgiving.
Rick

Hey Rick
Sorry to hear of your family situation.
Having hunted for a coupe for well over a year, I learned a lot about them and prices.
You should count on 70-75k, depending on the motor, miles and if you upgraded to glass rear window over the factory lexan.
If I hadn't bought 136 this spring I would definitely help you out...
Yell if you have questions/need advice.
Jeff - SPC0136

Rick,
sorry to hear about your dilemma. Family comes first.
I agree with Jeff on the pricing. Motor and color have more influence than chassis number/build year.

Hello Jeff and Stephen,
Thank you for your kind words. I appreciate your insight. I am not looking to gouge on price and my thinking about $$$ was a little below your numbers. The car has been rock solid in reliability...amazing really. It has a 427 Roush, carbed. I like the color scheme, the old American Racing colors; white with blue stripes. The lexan window is crack free and thus I haven't purchased one of the glass or polycarbonate replacements. It has 6,500 miles and is legally registered in the state of confusion, uh I mean New York.
Wishing you both a Happy Thanksgiving.
Rick
