Shelby CSX 4000 Registration Nightmares

[Excaliber]

So lets say your replica is stolen in NY, an all points bulletin is broadcast.

"Be on the lookout for a Silver 2007 Cobra. Mustang, I guess, uh, SPCN? Oh wait, says here street rod?" Yeah, that makes a lot of sense when the police have no clue what the heck there looking for! Good luck recovering your vehicle.

In some states you are allowed to display "vintage" plates from the same year that the car is titled as. That's the only reason that I wanted the 1965 designation, to complete the replication look. As far as wanting to fool somebody, I get asked all the time if the car is an original (some even assume it is) and I always tell them no, it's a very good replica!

Sometimes Ernie has a way of elucidating a point. I never thought of this reason:

Every time I order parts for a Cobra, they always try and sell me Mustang parts.

Kris, Ernie's right. That's the same thing Ca DMV told me about CSX4795. It needs to be registered as the closest vehicle it resembles. They don't want LEO looking for a 2007 Mustang instead of my Cobra!

I don't think very many 2007 Mustang parts will fit on my car!

My registration says: 1965 Cobra 2007 SPCN.
