I would have your inspection station write 2006 assembled vehicle and in paranthesis write (1965 replica) then it leads the lambs at the courthouse in the right direction. Long story short the way i found out about this is i was looking at a used spf and he did not have it titled with the remarks. It was simple for him to correct but it took 8 weeks and he sold it out from under me since i would not give him a penny until the title was clean. worked out better anyways

and title procedure now in West Texas. I've been very fortunate so far. I had a local Midas shop conduct the safety inspection yesterday and they wrote down the car info off my insurance card. The insurance card states it's a 1964! The inspector wrote down 1964 on the sticker and white inspection form! Also, earlier in the week. Texas DOT said I can use ERA2114as the VIN.
