Registering out of state Cobra in Texas

[madmaxx]

Tell him he is a stupid fuk. Cobras are registered in texas as the year they are built with the key note under remarks "replica 1965". So if built in 2005 it would say 2005 special construction and under remarks "replica 1965". Now if you are transferring it may be more challenging the easiest would be to used one which says 1965 and they will title 1965.

There is an excellent thread somewhere on cc detailing how to title a new cobra in texas, used may be different.

Once it titled, or you have the green sheet all they used is the insurance card which your agent will write any year on and that is all the inspection station uses.

I tell him CCs are inside side pipes, he doesn't buy that.
I tell him over 1000 Cobras registered in Texas w/o cc's
He say ALL are registered illegally.
I say, come on man, not ALL 1000, and what about other classics?

Car was registered in NY:
Year 2000
Make CUSTO
Model Code N/A
Body/Hull CONV

So, what now?
