Couple of observations:
1. Make sure your car is legally registered in Arizona as a 1965. Just like California folks play fast and loose in other states as well as to the year of the vehicle. If the original registration in Arizona was not correct for a SPCN California will not honor the year.
2. $500 - the "dude" is just going to register it as a 65 using the original paperwork without disclosing that it is a SPCN. You could do that yourself but then again you will probably be committing a felony. Remember that box that says "under penalty of perjury" and some where they ask you the year model. Although it replicates a 65 it is not a 1965 year model.
3. Key is to disclose to DMV and then what ever DMV does is DMV's issue not yours.
4. I am seeing DMV push back on foreign registrations on the emission testing. Fine you have a 65 SPCN registered in Arizona, but you still need to pass smog based on the year of the build or get a SB100.
5. Get the paperwork from the original R/O on the build date - emission rules change and that date is your baseline.
6. Assuming you have already made a mistake in the process - amnesty legislation is now sitting on the Governor's desk for his signature. Call it a "do over" with no risk. Note that we have been very low key as we worked on the amnesty issue - once amnesity is over I do antcipate steped up enforcement.
