Not Ranked
Don,
My car was legally titled as a 1965 Ford in Arizona, and actually has two different VIN's: the original from Superformance (I assume) and a VIN assigned by Arizona. When I brought it to the CA DMV last year, they used the Arizona VIN and the 1965 Ford designation on my new title and registration. It took them about 45 minutes to complete the process, and a supervisor got involved, so I guess they were doing some checking. (BTW, I honestly didn't discover the SB100 issue until I found this site about a month later)
Prior to Mr. Morgester's above post, I had already decided to go through the process even though my car was technically legal in CA without an SB100 sticker, just to avoid any future entanglements. Now, it looks like I have to do it regardless.
For what it's worth, it now seems that legally registered as 1965 outside of CA or not, we are all in the same leaky boat.
From what I have gathered from speaking with those that have gone through this process, it may be worth your time to drive down to the Santa Clara DMV on Jan 2nd.
Good luck with it.
Chuck
