While everyone said 'easy, just register it as a 1965 body style', my logic went... just because I want it this way- why should they when this is actually a new car with a 2018 engine in there?!
So I went to see the CHP for vin checks today and they told me that the existing vin (backdraft vin) counts, which includes an 'L'. That indicates to be a model year from 1990-2020. So BAR will never look at it as a 1965 body style- logically/consequently.

So I am hoping to collect some options here for me guys. Thx

Try talking with a California based dealer. Hillbank registers these things all the time.
