Oregon registration

[1969Camaro]

This is for the Oregon guys , what is required to register a FFR cobra in Oregon? Is it a difficult process? Hopefully not. Thanks in advance for your help.

Not at that point yet. The documentation seems simple enough. If you go to the DMV web site there a list of forms and the process for a home built or replica car.

Its been a little while since I went through it for my 818, but it was very easy. Figuring out exactly what forms were needed was a little tough, but its just a matter of paying the fee. No inspections. Assuming its the same for a cobra.

Just a quick question, I have looked at all the Oregon DMV sites and I can’t find the vehicle requirements to be registered, ie, are bumpers required, are windshield wipers? Hopefully someone knows.

I think the state requirements are in the various general requirements for vehicles. As far as the registration process goes I don't think there are any. I could have registered my kit on the day it showed up at my house for all the state cared about vehicle condition when I did mine. They told me they don't want to tell you if you did anything right or wrong because they don't want any liability. No one ever looked at my car. This was back in 2018, so things could have changed.

Well, I'm right in there with you (Junction City, OR). I'm researching for a 289 USRRC-style Cobra. (I'm early, as the kit arrives from FF in early July).
I'm from California and just moved here 2yrs ago, so have a lot to figure out compared to CA. DMV provided form 735-6511... yep, I'm a 'replica',
but have no idea on... catalytic converter, lights, mirrors, exhaust noise, -- like everything. Trying DEQ next.

Well, this is one year later and you may have discovered what you need.
My experience (I responded early on last May) is that I'm partially through my Mk 4 build (BPE 347 isn't installed yet), but I did research everything last year.
It's probably the easiest in the country. (I'm from Santa Cruz, CA, now newly married and retired in Junction City, OR)
DMV doesn't issue a VIN#, they want you to use the FFR-issued S/N and have that engraved in the VIN field on your metalized tag for the car.
Dept. of Environmental Quality (DEQ) has no req'ts whatsoever unless you live in the Portland-ish area or the Medford-ish area.
No specific muffler req'ts; no catalytic converter, etc.

DMV doesn't do a physical inspection of the car; no one does. They assume you are taking care of the basics (safety glass, lights, etc.)
I don't recall if there is even a 'use-tax' or some such -- but I'm suspecting it's not onerous, if so (hope to not be surprised).
