Well I'm right in the middle of this mess. I bought a car that I was told (by the auto dealer I purchased it from) was legally registered in FL. as a 1966 Cobra.
I brought it here and the DMV refused to even look at it and sent me packing to the CHP. the CHP officer inspecting the car called FL and had the FL DMV "investigate" the FL title. Upon investigation it now seems that Florida screwed up and the title is actually NOT leagal (by a few months before the laws in FL changed as I understand them).
Now
I have $36,000 plus and counting in a car that I can not get CA to register except as an 2006 SPCN and this 351/425hp engine can not in any way pass a 2006 smog test.
I guess I am going to have to let the car sit until January 2009 and camp out at the doors of the DMV on the morning of Jan. 2nd. and try to get an SB100. Not even sure now if I can do that still but will have to find out(?)
I am now driving on a second months temporary and will try to get another for Sept. if some kind soul at the local DMV will give me one again (which would be #3).
What kind of "kit" could possibly be put on my 351 that would make it a "greenrod"? Whatever it might be I'll bet it completely screws up the engine and cost a fortune to buy and install.
The whole CA attitude about these cars is total BS and the issue of "air quality" is a complete fraud. You dirty the air more by using a fireplace one day per year or BBQ once in a while than these cars do. Why don't they outlaw BBQs? Oops, I've given them yet another big brain fart to enact draconian idiot legislation for.
