Well, I asked them to place the documention in the queue and see what happens. It was surprisingly easy and the paperwork came back from PA very quickly honoring the CA title and VIN.
I don't understand why CA would not honor a VIN and title that was legally issued from another state. Am I missing something?

California does honor the VIN and title but we have states giving spcn vehicle years based on what they replicate. No big deal until you realize that our emission rules are tied to that year. Plan is that we honor the VIN and title but you have to pass emissions based on what the car really is. So the same rules that apply to every other car in California apply to you.
So you’re out of state vehicle either has to pass emissions per year of build or get an SB100 exemption. As to the SB 100 exemption look at my other post as to proposed legislation lifting the 500 limit.
