Some of the guys have historic plates: I have vanity plates reading 150PLUS.

Also, I didn't mean to mislead you on the taxes. The REGISTRATION FEE is pretty low on most of these cars if they are registered as pre-1968. However, according to AZ law, you must either pay AZ state sales tax or present documentation proving that you paid sales tax in the previous state. I don't remember the exact numbers, but I do remember them telling me that, unless I could show proof of having paid the PA sales tax, I would be taxed at (this is an approximate number) 6% of an amount equal to 150% of the claimed value of the car. Fortunately, I had all of my papers and was able to show that I had paid PA sales tax of an amount approximately equal to the assessed AZ sales tax, so I was exempted from paying the sales tax. I did have to pay the title and registration fees. The same went for my other two cars. According to my files, the entire tab for the Cobra was about $36 for the title and first year's registration.

I can guarantee that the inspectors will be interested in your bill of sale and related paperwork. The inspection you will undergo is not an emmision or safety inspection; it's to ensure that the car is what you say it is and that it wasn't built of illegal or stolen parts. I'm not an attorney but I should think that a valid bill of sale and title from California should suffice for that. Any lawyers in the crowd care to comment?
