Thanks, Don. That helps. I am registered as a 2012 "Composite" so I should be OK. They were fairly vague at the DMV about the subject which had me wondering where it would end up.

jualwatt, I registered my Cobra prior to the emission exemption and had to pass emission testing prior to registering, so if you have your registration your all set. You should not receive the emission testing reminder which compares to the Make name of Composite when determining to send the reminder.

Without any criticism, it would not be unusual for a DMV individual not to be familiar with the details of registering and emission testing a Composite, since there are so few registered. If I recall correctly, back in 2007 there were approx 300 to 500 Composites registered, which includes all types of " kit " cars , not just the Cobra

Just curious, when you filled out the registration forms, did you indicate the model year as 2012 or 1965 or 1966 ? Or did the DMV insert or change to 2012 ? Hopefully, someone that has more recent experience and knowledge will clarify on model year registration, the year the vehicle most closely resembles.
