				 Registering New Cobras in WA. 
 I'm new to the NW Cobra Club, but did see a thread about how to register a newly completed Cobra Kit.  I just finished an ERA 289 FIA and got the State Inspection/ Licensing completed.  For anyone who is about to do this, I'll pass on a lesson learned.  The DOL has two options when you license your car. They can license it as a "kit car" or they can license it as "replica".  If they do it as a kit car, it will be licensed by the year it was built (i.e. a new car).  If they license it as a replica, it can be licensed by the year it is replicating.  I registered my FIA as a 1966....therefore no smog worries.  The registration will be as a "RCOBRA" with a vin number from the kit MSO or the ID stamped on the frame.  If your local DOL will not do this, go to a different office.  I know this can be done, I just did it in Tacoma.  I would be happy to pass on more details if you want to email me.  Good luck.....will see you all this year sometime at a Cobra function. |
