Not sure, but I think the Model name, at this time, would still be Composite.

I mentioned to the DMV a few months ago how that would help the hobby AND the DMV on identifying/tracking these vehicles.

We have been through inspection as early as last Thursday and it is a breeze.

From the newsletter:

" Our ( 4Cs ) goal is to introduce legislation in the 2009 session that gets the model year designation for the purpose of registration of a Composite motor vehicle to be the model year that the body of such motor vehicle most closely resembles. Initial discussions with DMV appear that this is a feasible success path. It is noted that the current state statues do not define a Composite or replica motor vehicle. Further discussions will be necessary to work out language that DMV finds acceptable prior to introducing legislation in 2009. The 4C's is in the process of having those discussions with DMV."

Jay, your comment:

RE: New emissions requirements as of August, 2008

* What are you using for " Documented Proof " on the year of the engine block?

* Are the casting numbers/bore number, such as C8AE-C, or any other numbers on the block, visually verified ?

* Did the inspection also include a visual check for the installation of emissions hardware if the engine block is 1966 and later ?

A good story regarding a Composite, already registered in another state, being registered in CT
