Just returned from the Dept. of Licensing today. They didn't seem to think I needed the WSP inspection. I'm glad I had the inspection though because the WSP changed the model year from '03 to '06 which helps me out. The DOL wanted to only use the year that's on the MSO which is '03, except I had a statement of fact from the WSP that said '06. The bottom line is I got my plates in about 10 minutes. Yahoo!!

I purchased an out of state ("Tpiini's") which is registered in KA as a "1998 Special Construction". The car actually has a 1966 289 engine. Gig Harbor DMV told me they go by the way it is already titled from the other state and I can't change it to "1966 Replica" or anything else. Anyone know different (I had been looking at an out of state registered as a "1966 Cobra Replica" and I wasn't gonna have to do dick but pay my money and get my plates w/ no inspections.

Something tells me that this is going to be more trouble than the paperwork I did while trying to adopt a beautiful 17 year old, well developed girl from Scandanavia, but that's another story...

It is easier then you think it is going to be.
It will take a few days and some time on the phone and two trips to the emissions station. I brought mine in from OR and I didnt have to deal with any vehicle inspections just emissions.
If you need any help let me know. You can get it done in a day if things work out right.

Bought mine in California and the Washington state licensing agent didn't know what a "spec const" vehicle was... went to WSP in Eastgate and he looked at me and said, and I quote "what are you doing here?"...No inspection required if she had known how to do her job, So he inspected the numbers and signed off and it took all of 2 minutes... Took longer to get out of the inspection station with all the inquiries... thats all that I had to do...
