I splained to the nice lady that I had been told I needed to file for an SB100 number or some such thing, since my car was made from a kit some time in the mid 90's and I heard I needed to get my registration corrected.
She said "no you don't".
After some very polite "splaining", I asked if she could inquire to her supervisor since my request had something to do with a recent law change and an amnesty program was involved. She returned shortly and said " Your vehicle was and is legally registered, have a nice day".

FYI, the Oceanside DMV doesn't know their A-- from a hole in the ground. In July of this year I had to go 9 rounds with those incompetents. I knew there were numbers left over. They argued that there weren't any. I finally had to demand a supervisor call Sacramento to make sure. Sure enough, It was now 5:01 PM and Sac was closed for the day. Had to go back the next day and wait for two hours while we did much the same thing. They finally called and I got my number. But, they were about as helpful as another hole in my a--.
Bottom line. Know your stuff and call BS if they try and tell you otherwise. Get a supervisor if you don't get the answer you want. And YES, you will have to re register that 1965 title this year in order to avoid prosecution once the amnesty program expires.
And YES, there are plenty of numbers left over for the rest of you!
