Alan,
As I dimly recall, the S/N was riveted to the chassis of the Cobra in
the earlier years, and it can be rebuilt and licensed here in
California. A really tough State (remember "Gone in 60 Seconds). That
was all that was required for a T-Bone, or "A" Ford. And the same for my
"RED TOI", which only had the donor VW platform that had the S/N stamped
on the tunnel.
See Page 5, (with sound on):

Some cop stopped my son, Jay, (current owner), and required a vehicle
inspection as the S/N was not "visible" through the windshield. The
chassis was older than the "window visible tag", so the CHP approved it.
