Anyways not sure what the deal is and how I would go about smog etc. I'm in California by the way.
Anybody know anything about "Special Construction Title"?
Thanks-

I think that's BS Brent. I've had cars that had not been registered longer than that, and although a pain in the rear and fees were involved they still ended up with a normal title. That will affect the value, plus if it's the same special constructed title I had on my Cobras it invites smog issues. I think it will be thrown into the every two year deal as it'll be registered as a 2000 model, and the engine will need to conform to that or at least all the smog equipment it originally had. So you use a 72 454 you'll need all smog equipment, air cleaner, EGR, etc. that it came with. Do an LSX and look out!
Do some research to be sure, but that's something I'd avoid.
