California Identification number

[CobraDude66]

I am currently going through the Ca registration process. I bought my CR 1991 in Neveada 2 weeks ago. It was a prior Ca car (over 10 years ago) so even though it has a CA vin, I had to start all over. here is what I have been through:

1) 5.5 hrs at the DMV

2) Finally convinced them I want to avoid smogging the car.

3) I applied for a Series 500 number from Sacramento (only 500 issued every year) and was issued one after 3 days of waiting.

4) I now have to go to the CHP to get a VIN verification

5) Then I have to make an appointment with BAR to meet with a Smog Referee so they can verify the make/model and equipment it has. I will get a certificate saying no smog is required.

6) Back to the DMV for the final registration paperwork to be issued

7) After all that, I need to fill out a SB100 application that once approved, should make the car smog exempt for the life of me owning it.

I still am not sure how the final registration will read, I am assuming as a 69 Ford (the engine is a 69 351w out of a Mach One). Or maybe as a 91 which is the year of the replica.

Good luck to you....I hope this will help you.
