Mastiff107,
Now you really got me confused. If you can BS them into titling it as a 65 it will greatly help you on resale.
In any other state but Calif. that would most likely work, but we have had several with their titles pulled that came from other states. Our CHP and other law enforcement have more or less unofficial orders to run any plate they see on any replica to see if it has the SPCNS number. If not, then they will stop you, and your title will be pulled.
I am not trying to butt in on your discussion as I know Washington is far different from here, but be wary of selling a car to anyone in California as they will try to come back on the seller at times.
