At the time this car was produced the laws were different. SA could not legally sell a completed running driving car as a 1965. Typically the cars were sold as rollers less running gear and delivered to the customer or a SA authorized assembler to finish. Today those rules have changed and SA can build 325 complete turn key cars per year. 

Under the FAST Act, "low-volume" manufacturers can bypass certain heavy Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS) to produce turn-key replicas of vehicles that are at least 25 years old.
Volume Limit: Capped at 325 of these replica vehicles per calendar year nationwide.
Emissions: Manufacturers must use engines and emission controls that have a valid EPA Certificate of Conformity for that model year.
Labeling: Vehicles must wear a permanent label indicating the safety standards from which they are exempt and the year they replicate.

It's unusual that the MSO still exists. They are to be surrendered to DMV when the car is first registered. They are the birth certificate and the title replaces them. Or is NY a non title state that only issues registration for older model year cars?

I guess the feds have finally settled the "continuation" question. New Cobras are replicas.......

I have a moss green GT500 4 speed with parchment interior.  Its been restored by Alan Faulker Stevens with Dragon Wheels.  He is a registrar in England with SAAC and a former Aston Martin engineer.  Its not cheap for sure but its top notch.

I suppose if you tested your polish on something tarnished aluminum and it rubbed off black on the rag then  you could expect the same result on a bare aluminum quarter window trim piece.

If you have a 1967 GT500 or GT350, I am looking to replace a car I sold a few years ago ( and regretted selling...). Feel free to call me to discuss. I would prefer a car that has a solid history and has been restored (older restorations are fine, as long as car is in great condition). Prefer 4 speed car, but would consider automatic.

Up For Auction / Re: 5S421 - Bring A Trailer

Last post by 5s386 - June 19, 2026, 01:17:18 PM

It did when I owned it and sold it....

It was a solid, excellent car.

That was 13 years ago and I have not seen it since...

Remember it won Premiere 5-6 years before I purchased it and the guy I bought it from NEVER used it....

Came from a Private collection of 50 plus cars  

Did you buy it already restored? Do you have pre restoration pictures? Thanks!
