My Recent Experience with SB100 & Bringing a Used Cobra into California

[socalliving]

Cobalt289, nice write up on the process. That was my exact experience minus AAA. Although, I paid a professional DMV processor to handle the paperwork to avoid waiting in DMV lines here in San Diego. She was very familiar with SPCS/SB100 process.

My car was from out of state with a different type of registration.

If you don't have the time or patience I recommend paying one of these people who do this for a living and who have a good rapport with the DMV staff. It will be a seamless process. I still had to go to the CHP and Air Resource Board for the inspection and sticker.

Like you said it was not too bad but very time consuming if you went to the DMV yourself.

BTW, she was up in Grass Valley and everything was mailed to me. Worth every penny.

I'm considering purchasing a FF car that is currently registered in another state as a '65, but it has a late model injected engine. Do you think that will cause any issue? From what I've read I think it could be registered under SB100 by bodystyle but under that example older engine blocks were used.

Thanks for your expertise guys

Justin,

You can no longer use the engine year to register a car under SB-100, just the body style. As some have stated, if you have access to one of the people that do this such as the one in Grass valley, it is well worth the money to pay them to do the darn paper work.

Hey Justin - My car was registered in another state as a '65 too, so the only difference is that I still had the MSO (so it's not automatically taken away when registered elsewhere). The later model engine shouldn't affect CA SB-100 registration, as long as you have the minimum emissions required for a '65 car, which is a closed crankcase for a carbureted engine - and I don't know what it would be for an injected engine.
