However, you can still run the black '66 plates. The tag office titled/registered my car as a 2009 Assembled Vehicle (ASVE) and I had a new set of 1966 vintage plates I had bought and had them with me. They inspected the plates for authenticity, checked them in the system to confirm they weren't tied to another car, and then assigned them to mine.

That is exactly what I'm trying to accomplish. thanks. If I can register it as an 2009 assembled vehicle (no sales tax) AND be able to run the black 66 plates I would be a very happy camper. If my MSO and insurance card say 65 replica, can I still do that? Or do I need to get my insurance company to send me a card that says 66 cobra or 66 cobra replica? Did y'all have to have wipers as well? Thank you for your help.
