CARB and how it regulates emissions may close the loophole for you, no matter what the title says for model year.
That's true. CA could change their emissions laws and make all 196x titled cars subject to stricter emissions requirements, and then everyone with a 60s car would be screwed. But short of doing passing a sweeping law that affected all cars, they can't single out a kit car legally titled in another state as a 196x and subject it to different emissions requirements than other 196x cars in the state.
