Early Cobalts are now over 20yrs old. Maybe consider cutting out the VIN on firewall and mounting somewhere inside the Goblin and registering it as a Cobalt under historic registration? This avoids any inspection, as there is now no safety or emissions inspection for historic. The car never gets looked at by anyone at MVA. I've gotten pulled over many times for speeding or not having a front tag in historic cars, and the police don't care at all about it being historic. I have used historic for commuter vehicles for a really long time, like two decades. In baltimore city people use it as a cheap way of owning an old car. Does the Goblin meet the requirements of historic: NO. But as long as it has lights and doesn't have anything else wrong with it, I think police will ignore.
