I am in the process of purchasing a Superformance MKIII. It is titled as a 2000 with a current FL title. I live in NJ and I am starting to wonder if I am going to have a problem registering the car and getting it through the NJ's emissions inspection. If the car is titled as a 2000 model year car, will it be subject to NJ's emissions regs for a yr 2000 car? The car obviously does not have cats. I have been reading about the NJ Reconstructed and Specially Constructed Vehicle registration process. I have the forms for registration but this emissions thing has me worried. Any thoughts?

The car will be titled as a 2000 if that is what the Florida title currently reads. NJ and Florida are reciprocal states and accept each others titles at face value.


A private (not state run) inspection station should be able to get the car to pass emissions with some tweaking.

Take it one step at a time, do not attempt to reinvent the wheel, do not attempt to circumnavigate the simple process already in place.

PS: Do not go through the process from scratch, once the car is titled in another state, that assigned VIN follows it forever (unless you are in California, which has a state sponsored revenue process which condones VIN tampering).

Anytime.


You might want to put your town name in, as there are over 100 cobra replica owners here on the forum that live all over NJ. Might just be a few in your general area.
