After 3 years and numerous points of nearly giving up, I can't believe it is actually time to think about registering this beauty! This would not have been possible without the tremendous support of this GT40 forum community and many great friends who helped me overcome obstacles -- thank you!
Years ago, I built a FFR Cobra and purchased an actual 1965 Ford title ($20 from a place called "Titles Unlimited") and that was the basis of the registration and titling in Maryland. Three specific questions about the RCR titling:
1. Is it better to procure an original 1966 title or use the RCR "Certificate of Origin"?
2. How is the car valued and what are the registration tax implication? Sales tax has been paid on every component needed to build it so it wouldn't seem correct if there was a large tax involved at the end.
3. Will it have to comply with "modern" equipment specs? For example, I am no side view mirrors and don't want to be forced to install them.
Thanks to anyone who can share any insights!
