Me too Kirby
Kirby,
I have the exact same situation I am trying to work through now. I have the CA exemption and the veicle is listed as 0000. GA wants to register the car as a 2003 (the first year it was titled. I have a contact with the GA clean air folks and he says if I pass the 1975 emmisions then I pass. Did you learn anything additional?

Troy, everything you need to know is in this well written thread by the posters above. Nothing has changed from what I have followed in legislation.

I tried to get a straight answer from the GA "Clean Air Force" to no avail. The answer was always "Buy the car & then bring in all the paperwork & we'll decide what you need to do and IF you're going to get a tag. This is an issue only in the Metro atlanta area (13 counties) outside that "zone" there's no issue. The N. Atlanta SPF dealer told me there was no problem, but the car they were selling was currently registered outside the Metro area, which I would be unable to do. I went to my county tag agency & they told me they would honor an out of state title. I bought & registered my car in Florida & received a FL title. I'll deal with GA when it's time to renew the tag.

Jack,
That's a good question. IF you find one that's titled or registered as an older car in another state, you might be OK, but the GA DMV can track any VIN # and if it's been registered as a modern car anywhere, you have to go through this "mystery" process in the 13 metro counties. Some folks have had good luck, others a nightmare, I've spoken with many people on this issue, including the poeple that work for the state. Even they can't give you a clear answer, so, "Feelin lucky?"

Jack,
That's exactly why I went to BDR in FL, I have a FL title & registration for a 1965 roadster. The GA county DMV will register it (no title) as a 1965. I'll keep the FL title for when I want to sell it. I spoke with other owners, other dealers, and some folks in the emissions testing stations, along with the "clean air" people. I got answers all over the board about how to register a new "kit car" in the 13 counties. Some quite ingenious! but I didn't want the hassle. The key is either a new or used car registered in another state as a 1965. That seems to be the easist way to get a tag in this neck of the woods

Makes sense to me, but a GHP copper once told me i had 10 days to re-register my car in GA if i became a resident. i was working in Savannah only for 5 or 6 months. No problem. i didn't move there. (The state income tax had more to do with it, actually.)
So, drive carefully...

 If you LIVE in Georgia for more than 30 consecutive days - then by law, you have to obtain a Georgia Driver's License and Tag (if the car is solely registered in your name). |

GA Reg. not 10, but 30 days.
You are correct and thank you for that. In fact, the law currently says:
"You will be subject to fines and vehicle impoundment if stopped by law enforcement if you fail to register your vehicle and obtain a Georgia license plate (tag) within thirty-days (30) of establishing residency in this state or for Georgia residents, thirty-days (30) from the purchase or acquisition date of the vehicle."
So, the 10 days i was told was pure BS. But, the larger point he made was certainly onerous. Particularly the part about 'vehicle impoundment'. They can have my 230K mile Caravan anytime they wish. Then, they have to buy the next tranny. But my COB? No thanks!
