Welcome to CC Bandito!
If you're in California, search for SB100 and/or follow the links that were posted in this thread.
The bottom line is that you can't register a new turnkey car in California.
If the supplier can provide you with separate receipts from two different companies (i.e. one for chassis and another receipt for the engine/trans/install), you can present the car as a specially constructed car in California. Depending on how fast the SB100 certifications go in January, you may have to wait until 2011.
If you buy a kit, you'll need to have an MSO and all of the receipts for the build. Once you're done, you'll need to go through the SB100 process.
If you buy a previously registered car from out of State, it's critical that the car be legally titled in the State that the car is registered in. You'll still need to secure an SB100 sequence number to register a car from out of State in California.
