To (born raised in CA - escaped 2003) the registration/title process in AZ was delightfully simple. Had to get an emissions test however as noted in an earlier response in this thread it was a very minimal process - and - the registration fee based on age was less than $30 if I recall correctly.
Possibly the best DMV interaction I have every had. Not complicated, easy to comply with and almost cost free. I was prepared for much worse having fought with CA DMV for 30 plus years.

Thanks for the information, it's very helpful! Some follow up questions:
- Do you know if the emissions test was a one time thing or if it will be required for subsequent renewals?
- Do you know what sort of emissions levels were used to gauge pass/fail for the test? Were they for a 1968 vehicle since that was the year on the CO title? Or something else?
- Does the AZ title now show as specially constructed vehicle 1965 or did the year from CO title get used?
Both my specially constructed vehicles are EFI (complete with O2 sensors), they've been dyno tuned to dial-in the A/F mixtures and I think run clean. The exhaust doesn't have any unburnt gasoline smell like a carbureted engine might. My concern is probably fear of the unknown here but I'd hate to buy a home and move only to find out I've got a can of worms to unravel.
Thanks again for all the good info!
