Does anyone have experience in registering a GT40 in South Carolina?

My Superformance MK I will be ready soon, and I've heard conflicting stories; for example, I was told that SC was one of the few states that allowed short VIN numbers. Obviously that would be neat to have GT40P/2074 as the complete VIN number.

Also, I'm curious whether they are 'flexible' with respect to assigning a year to the car. My insurance company is agnostic on the matter; they're concerned with the purchase value, etc. Does the DMV look at the year it was built? The year of the car that is being replicated (as with some states)? The year the engine was built?

Any help would be appreciated!
