Ohio: Title as a 66?

[Excaliber]

Seem's to me Morgester addressed this issue of out of state title acceptance by California. No problem, they WILL readily accept an out of state title as legal. However, IF, like a Hawaii title is written, it is determined that the car falls under a SPCN, Replica, Street Rod type of "1965 Title", then California won't accept it (as the year of build). Thus, you will have to start the SB100 paper work or meet smog for the true year of build.

Sounds like California may in fact accept a Washington State title based on jwd's post. Perhaps that is a potential "loop hole" route to a California title? Register first in Washington? The kicker might be if you are asked, straight up, what year was the car built and you say 2004 (or what ever) is that prima facia evidence it's a "kit car"? What if you lie and say 1965, just like the title says? Might need a lawyer to work out the details on how to handle all that... The essence of the whole amnesty program is to avoid being caught in a fraud statement, they will prosecute.

California will accept the title as a '65..........then we change it to what it really is.

Obviously you're one of the many kool-aid drinkers in that state.
