There is no sense in beating a dead horse. This is my 3rd cobra I have owned.
I register my current Kirkham about the same time last year. If they would have had a problem I would gone the SB100 route. I have done it on the two previous cobra and it is not that big of a deal. Get a Number.

I bought a kirkham from florida registered as a 65. Was built in 2005 and had to do sb100. Still in process as we speak.

You're better off going through the SB100 process. One of these days, somebody in the AG's office is going to get a hair up their axx and decide the rules have changed. You'll be 100% legal. :)

Out of State Purchase

I am in the middle of the process right now:

I bought a FFR built in 2003, and titled as a 2003, 2 weeks ago from Nevada, where it had been registered since 2003. I went to DMV week of 1/25 and learned that only about 250 SB100 had been issued as of end of January, I got number 257. All I had to show at DMV was a bill of sale from NV seller, NO receipts of any kind needed since car was fully built. I got my SB100 certificate in mail last week (not sure why it took most of you about 30 days to get yours), and already did the CHP inspection last week. Again, I told them car was fully built when I bought and CHP asked me for no documents for parts. My BAR appt is Tue (I made it on Friday, there is NO wait for BAR appt. contrary to prior years). I will let everyone know how that goes next week. Anyway, DMV completely ignored the NV registration in terms of year, they assigned year of my car as 0000, and the CHP used the FF frame number as my VIN, NO tag was put on car since the FF number was easy to see.

Anyway, so far so good.

Congrats on getting your SB100 sequence number! Also good news for those who are still looking for a sequence number. Just shows that you should not be deterred if one DMV office tells you there are no sequence numbers left.

Did the BAR inspection today at El Camino College, it was a breeze! Inspector could not have been more pleasant, and he let me decide where to put sticker (back of firewall, can still see if you bend over to look, otherwise not an eyesore). So I am now 90% done, just need to turn in paperwork to DMV.

Bad news for me is that I just learned that there is a FF CA Cruise-In being planned for end of April in Hermosa Beach....I could finally go to an event as a Cobra OWNER.....but I am out of town all that week! Got my SB100 and nowhere to go.....
