Default Titling out of state used Cobra

Actually, I live in Oregon and don't need to be concerned at the moment. However, I have read the very interesting discussions on SB100 with horror, amusement, concern, and lots of other adjectives. I was curious because if I (some day, but not soon) sold my coupe and someone in CA wanted to buy it, then what?

Also, OR and other states are moving towards the CA system of doing things.

As it happens, Oregon titled my coupe as I hoped it would, based on the MSO that came with it. The MSO that came with the roller stated that it is a "1965 Shelby Cobra Daytona coupe replica". Therefore, OR titled it as a "1965 Shelby coupe replica", VIN SPCXXXX (the chassis number stamped on the frame). The registration slip itself only states "1965 Shelby". Under OR law, it is therefore subject only to the requirements in force in 1965, i.e., no post 1965 smog, safety, or other equipment. So, if my car (or another car with a similar MSO) were sold into CA, it sounds as though there would be no problem titling and registering it because it actually DOES have a valid registration as a 1965, even though its date of build was 2007 and it is a replica.

Am I correct?

Cheers
