Registering & Titling my Cobra in Florida?

[David Niblett]

I'd suggest that you get an original title from something in the 1965 range. For example, my car is registered as a 1965 Ford Roadster up here in Gainesville. Since I'm registered as a 1965 I never have to worry about smog, seat belts, etc.

If you look in the back of just about any Hot Rod magazine, you can find companies that sell registrations for cars of that era.

I will admit that once you understand the process it seems like it shouldn't be legal, but welcome to the Florida DMV loophole.

According to my friend that works at the DMV they basically don't care because they get so few like this it's not worth their time to really crack down on it.

If you use your MSO, you will be titled something like 2003 and if you have pollution control, as I understand it you have to pass if you are newer than a certain year.

As with everything, my area my not be the same as yours, but this should be relatively statewide. Your milage may vary.
