Buy a car here that is registered in another state and you have to go through the same BS to get one on the SB-100 numbers that you would have to if you had built it here.

I live in California and recently purchased an RUCC car from Texas. Prior to the purchase I contacted the CA DMV Technical Services division and gave them the facts about the car; kit car completed in 2004, titled and registered in Texas as a 1966 AC Cobra, engine details and no emission equipment whatsoever, etc.. The response was they consider it a 1966 and there will be no problem titling and registering it as such and no emission equipment or testing is required.

My visit to the DMV today was uneventful and the car is now titled and registered in California as a 1966 AC Cobra. I suppose the fact it was previously titled and registered as a 1966 in Texas had some bearing on their decision or maybe I just got lucky.
