Titling a used Cobra in California

[bingo2]

There's that word again...interpretation....oh my!

I read an article regarding the importation of replica vehicles, specifically Cobra replicas, into CA; it was a magazine interviewing Mr. Morgester, the consul to the DMV (I think) and he skillfully avoided answering the "full faith and credit" question by saying, to his knowledge, it is a grey area and hasn't been tested, meaning he didn't want to give a definitive answer. At least that was my "interpretation" of his response.

... oh, it's been tested... it just depends on how the particular DMV branch wants to handle it... INTERPRETATION rears its ugly head again!

same for the continuity issue... some say SB-100 numbers are good for the life of the vehicle. Others say that once it's titled outside of Cali then brought back in, the previous sequence number is no longer valid. Guess you'll just have to find out on that one.

That said, is probably best to go through the SB-100 process regardless... jump through some hoops & let the state squeeze some more cash from your hand in order to have peace of mind.
