It has never been registered in calif, he has all the paperwork from his purchase, would I have to go with the SB100? How was this handled when first sold new? Are they registered as a 1999 model? Just curious, thank you.

Hmmm, I think you need to get the seller to go through the SB100 process, not because its easier for you but because it is probably the only way to truthfully fill out all of the paperwork envolved. the SB 100 process is for people who build (or have built) a car for their own use (not for resale). This car is a completely finished running car that has no title or registration, in other words a turn-key car, I think you will run into nothing but trouble trying to register it because basically (as the state sees it) you will be the first owner of the car. It would have been better if he had registered it improperly than not at all. On the other hand I don't think that your friend would have any trouble at all getting the SB 100 completed, unless he has something to hide about the car.
