Colorado has enacted their version (emphasis on "their version")of the SEMA model law for street rods, etc. I scanned through the SEMA "toolkit," and my take is that Colorado took a relatively simple situation and made it about 100x as complicated. It impresses me as a bunch of rules made for cars by people who know nothing about cars. Think long and hard about whether or not you want to pursue that particular car.

That's the attachment I gave you back in post #4 above, taken from the SEMA SAN site. I agree 100% with what Jack says, and also with Robot's five points, especially #1. Too often someone starts with "Well in Kansas (or Georgia, or Tennessee, or Florida, or Washington...)" and it's of zero help to you in your home state. Firebird77clone could go back to GA because he was military, but that's not an option for anyone else. And the process of going to another state, registering only for the purpose of bypassing laws in another state is known as "washing a title" and can get you in a world of hurt. That process, publicized by Boyd Coddington (RIP) on his TV show, is one of the big things that got California to come down hard on street rods a few years back. Do you homework BEFORE you buy that title nightmare.
