SB-100 in Texas
I’m looking at purchasing a Cobra that is titled under the California SB-100 program and I’d be bringing it into Travis County where smog is required. This car is titled as a 2006 and I’m concerned about needing smog and Texas inspection (green sheet). I don’t want to unwind the SB-100 as that makes it an attractive car to send back to California if it’s sold, but to try to pacify all the requirements set out for a 2006 vehicle will be difficult for me. Has anyone else been in this position?

if a California car with a sb-100 is sold, that sb-100 number is lost forever....if it goes back to California it will need a new sb-100 number.....

Might start by looking here.

Comment by El Mariachi seems seems to be the route to get your car titled in Tx |

the sb-100 number only smog exempts the car for as long as the original owner owns the car....it has nothing to do with the vin#.....you can license a car without the sb-100 but it must pass all the smog requirements....

Randy: rustyBob is correct. If the car is registered in another jurisdiction it becomes titled in that State, the California Title and registration are surrendered thus the California Registration is no longer valid and the SB100 sequence number is forfited. if and when it is re-entered into the California Registration data base, it is treated like any other incoming car, and must meet all the THEN current requirements for either standard registration (like our daily drivers) or the requirments for becoming SB100 complient. A long & winding road.

No issues in Texas as the car now will be titled as the year it replicas ie; 1965 or 1966 Cobra. No emissions test just saftey inspection.
|
SB100 just isn't a big deal in California these days. Demand is way down and people were still able to get sequence numbers late in to the year.
Unless demand picks up in a big way, having an SB100 adds virtually no value to a car's resale value. |

My point is that if you're looking for a car, SB100 can easily be obtained whether a car has been pre-registered or is a new build. |

I thought SB100 was for new builds only. What does SB1578 cover? I assumed it was for existing cars such as those from out of state. Or am I not understanding this wonderful State of California stuff?

If you can wade through and ignore the thread hijacking California chatter about a non-Texas SB-100 problem,Gary gave you the correct answer.:rolleyes: |

I wish it was that easy here in Cali.....
part of the original post asked about returning the car back to Cali. with the Cali. title and the SB-100....once the car is sold they are both null and void.... you would have to start the process again.... |
The SB100/SB1578 process is about putting a price on your time. It's not rocket science, but you do have to take time to go to the DMV at least a couple times, the BAR referee, CHP and probably a Brake & Light inspection.
Assuming, you've done everything correctly, like now needing a PCV, then that's about it. For me, I'd rather spend the time doing other things, so buying a car with the exemption already makes that car worth more to me. By how much? I dunno. |
Not to hijack this thread, but I'm looking at a Daytona Coupe in Arizona and it's registered as a 2006 Assembled Vehicle with an Arizona assigned VIN. The car is street legal but barely streetable. I'm really worried about buying it and having problems titling and registering it here. It should pass a 1964 inspection but definitely not a 2006 inspection. If I go the route El Mariachi describes, what does that do since the current title shows it as a 2006 Assembled? I'm a bit confused, and I sure don't want to buy a car I can't title.
Thanks |
Me thinks you worry too much. I've seen many cars barely out of the gocart phase get licensed here.
