You have a legal title from another state stating that you have a 1965 something, but it isn't a 1965 something. It replicates a 1965 something, but the CA form doesn't ask for what year it replicates.
Personally, I would be nervous and always looking over my shoulder. |
This whole area is a bit grey. Not black and white. If you own a car from a state whose laws align with the SEMA suggested template and therefore have a legal title saying the year the vehicle represents is the year of record (say 1965), answering California's "Make" and "Model Year" is not very clear.
Different people could have different interpretations.
