If you had a 65 GT it would indeed be rare since none were imported that year.
What you have is what my clients call a number job. Someone has taken the
original serial off and replaced it with a roadster plate. No doubt it was to
avoid smog requirements. I have seen one other that way in southern Cal owned
at the time by a Reed Nichols, since sold. It is very tempting to do but only
possible if the donor roadster is currently or recently registered so that no
inspection is necessary. Most DMV inspectors are hip to the trick. Oh ya, It is
most criminal to do, but not a criminal liability to you if you bought it
unknowingly that way. And if DMV in Cal discovers it you might have a problem
keeping it registered. Probably have to get it re-registered with a CHP serial
after much inspecting and hassel. Since there are no secret numbers to verify
its original year they are going to put it in the most recent year possible and
make it a smog car.

Subject: GT or not GT
Question to a dilemma. If I had a 65 GT and the serial numbers on the car
are GHNxxxxxx but the moss catalog says a GT should be GHDxxxxxx whats
up? Also what if you had a GT that was a rust bucket and opted for a new
heritage body for it. It seems they only sell roadster bodies. And
lastly. What if you bought a new body but did not have a donor car. I.E.
you bought all the engine, tranny, front crossmemeber, rear axle, ect.
separately and never had a title. Would it technically be a Kit Car? And
if so what year emissions would it fall under, if any?
I'm done. Thanks.
