One thing I do find interesting is that if the goal is to value the cars higher for tax reasons then why not just revalue all of the cars registered as 65 Cobras at the value of an original 65 Cobra? That would be sure to get everyones attention.  |
Hey, I am not even sure that what they have told me is fact as every DMV and smog referee I have talked to in this Northern area seem to have different ideas about what is allowed and what isn't. When SB-100 first came into law, the DMV site was much better set up and you could even check and find out how many numbers were left if any. The reason I was given that the engine year isn't allowed any more is that to many people were using service blocks that didn't have a date stamp and claiming they were the first year of that engine. I do not know if this is true as I have trouble believing anything I hear from these people. So far I think the best DMVs to really find out anything from are in the Sacramento and Bay area so far as Northern Calif. goes. Now you have to jump all over the DMV site to find out all of the different things that you may need to know about a SPCNS. I don't know why they can't put it back the way it originally was with any changes that have been made in it and have it in one section. I do know that Redding is one of the most annoying DMVs I have ever been in and that goes for everything, not just Special Construction. I even got a letter once asking me if I would use the Redding office instead of others as so many people were going to other places to do their registrations and stuff that Redding was becoming a non profit joke. I try to keep up with all the latest stuff on registering these cars, but it is almost impossible given the different stories from each DMV and smog referee. It is like dealing with the IRS.
