My cousin is thinking of buying a 7 replica ( a finished used car, either Caterham, Birkin,Westfield or S1), he has homes in AZ and WA, he asks if a car has already been registered and titled ( he is looking at cars with a true build date of 98 todate) and if said car was accepted in the initial state of ownership as a 1967 car should it be then plain sailing in the next state and should that car then automatically be exempt from emissions and modern car specs,safety, obd etc as it will be a 1967...
He said that in both states an out of state title for any car just needs the car taken to the local DMV where they check the VIN to original title, then pay and get the new reg and title a few weeks later.
For example, if the car was a 2004 Birkin and registered and titled and used in Florida as a 1967 (and that was what was on that title and reg), should he assume that it will still be a 1967 for the rest of it's life where ever it may be in the States?
Thanks
Jason
PS :
As a counter point, if a car was built and first registered in a state as a 2004 will it carry that year brand with it in other states, or is there a way to get it back to a 1967?
PPS: might be an idea to have a section about members experiences with this problem from State to State and country to country, I am sure this must apply to many cars from Cobra reps, to custom HotRods to restoring a classic from scratch.
Thankyou for your consideration.
