California gauntlet

[ezplans]

First, I'd like to thank all the members here for the incredible amount of information that you share.

I just bought a SPF in Colorado on 2/14. My first Cobra (Am I allowed to call it that - if it looks like a . . . ., sounds like a . . . , runs like a . . . . ). It's being delivered Thursday 3/3/05, so I'm about to run the California gauntlet. I will keep you updated as to how it is going. I'm dreading the return posts saying it can't be done.

SB-100 is out for 2005, and without some mass amnesty program, not a very viable alternative in the future. The car was registered in CO as 67 Ford convertible worth 6K. I intend to register it as a specially constructed vehicle at its full price and pay the f***ing taxes. It has a C7AE-A 427 sideoiler and should pass the 1967 smog requirements. We'll see.

I got lucky. Before reading your threads I almost bought an out of state crate motor car. Apparently, I would not have been able to drive it, only race it, until 2006 and pray to be one of the annoited 500. I'm going to drive my car most days.

Any inside information will be welcomed.

Thanks, Bill
