Yes to what Randy and Jim noted with a few more points:
I brought a completed car in from MA and successfully titled it under SB100. It was time consuming but not difficult (other than a few DMV folks along the way that did not know the process but wanted to pretend they did).
The listing on the title is not important...other than you can't "pretend" it's really a 1965. CA will issue a new title that typically lists the actual build year and SPCNS.
However, there are a few things that are critical to make it go smoothly:
1. Certificate of Origin from original MFR...aka MSO
2. Engine receipts including serial # if applicable
3. Transmission receipts
The MSO will establish relevant chassis ID, date, and origin. The engine and trans receipts will establish that parts were not from stolen vehicles. Part of the SB100 process includes CHP inspection and they are looking for stolen parts. This process goes quickly if you have good documentation.
If the paperwork is in order from Denbeste then the SB100 process won't be an issue. It takes about 2 months (maybe longer with COVID) but the DMV issues a temporary tag so you can drive it while working through the process.
