Help!!
I'm looking to purchase a completed Superformance with a crate motor. It was once registered in Ohio and possibly illegally register in CA (I'm trying to learn more about it's current status).

My question is, Is there any reason that is would not or could not be SB100 registered in CA? (of course, depending if I'm able to get one of the 500 SB100 numbers On Jan 2nd).

One other question, What is the current process for getting an SB100 number? Do you wait in the DMV line on Jan 2nd or is there some sort of lottery now?

Thanks for any help on this.

After you find out the California status you should correct it. I would suggest you do a Club Cobra search for user - "Morgester" and/or SB100.

Morgester is the California AG who ended up with the California vin issues involving improperly registered replicas (I think he got the short straw).

His posts will give you a pretty good idea of what needs to be done to correct the problem and why.

Yes, you will need to be in line at DMV on Jan 2nd '08. A search on SB100 will cover the process. Don't be late at DMV and visit them early to ensure you/and they know the process.

Good luck!!!

Terry - Sounds like your car is registered by the engine and is legally smoged. Check your registration. The year of the vehicle should be the year manufactured. If it says 1969 Ford then you will need to change it.

If it say 2001 (+/-) SPCNS then you are in good shape.
