My question about these new bodies is how do you title one? I assume it doesn't have a vin number that comers with it.

I think they are titled as 2011 cars. However, I've seen some of the shelby cobra kit cars titled as 1966s etc. This would be a major concern to me since a 1970 title allows me to skip CA smog checks!

The Cobras that are titled as 1966 cars are ones that were built from surviving parts that had been stored for years.  There were several frames and bodies that had not been completed and that is why they got to do those that way.  As for a title on these according to the website it depends on the state you live in.  Most states are going to title them as a kit car/home built car, and each state has a little different laws on how that would effect the emissions test the car has to pass.  I remember reading in Hot Rod or another magazine when the Camaro came out that it was officially licensed by GM and issued a parts number and therefore could be used to repair a damaged vehicle.  In other words if you had a rusted out car but all the rest of the parts were still good or new you could swap everything over to one of these bodies and it was perfectly legal.  I personally think if that has been done there should be a way to identify that the car is a re-body.  The problem with that is how would you prove it?  Now if I had all the parts to a Charger but the body itself was beyond repair if I could build a kit car of a Charger, and it was titled as such, I would be fine having a replica in my garage.
