When I was finished installing the engine & ready to drive my car it was Sep. I wanted to drive it awhile until Jan and get the SB100 number. I didn't know for sure, my car wouldn't pass smog, so down to DMV I went. 
Try handing them an MSO signed by Carroll Shelby, that says Model: 427 Shelby Cobra & Model year: 1965! 
The real kicker was that they sent me home with a temp to bring the car in for vin number verification! 
It was on the way back to DMV with the Cobra that I noticed that my speedo was running backwards. So of course, was the odometer. By the time I got there I had 99,990 miles! 
I told the DMV inspector the problem with the odometer but, she said "it doesnt matter I have to read what it says today"! 
So my car got entered into the DMV computer as; vin number: CSX4795, a 1965 Shelby 427 Cobra w/99,990 miles!

P.S. I didn't even attempt to straighten it out until I got my SB100 number in Jan.
