When the DMV and BAR refocus on this issue after much procrastination, there will be no second chances. Authorities will be knocking on your door to do inspections and revoke your plates on the spot, this is what is set to happen. I've seen it happen on a small scale. Currently it's just a money hunt, they have been, and are still refering to it as it an Amnesty Period. .....If you are in California and any of this applies to you I'd call it a Wake Up Period. THEN you can show everyone your 1965 (whatever) as it sits in the garage,or point to it through a fence at an impound yard. Because if it is registered as a 1965 and is not, or better yet if it is using the VIN of a legitimate 1965 IE: Mustang, Falcon etc whether it is a Cobra or not.........you'll be minus a 1965 (whatever).

Rich, I'll try to explain it to you since Ernie refuses to understand.
1. I do not live in California
2. My car is legally titled as a 1965
3. My car IS NOT titled as a 1965 COBRA (never said it was)
4. That's how it's done (or used to be) in my state. I handed them the MSO, wrote them a check and they handed me my title/registration/plates. Simple as that.
There are many states that do it exactly the same way. Ca. doesn't happen to be one of them.
This all started when Ernie posted about people who "claim" (inferring that they are lying) that their car is legally titled as a 1965. It would have been easy for him to say "That only applies to people in Ca." but he chose to include everyone, in all states.
Sorry that Ca. is soooo screwed up and make a big deal out of what most other states don't give a second thought. It's sad that they have to spend all those tax dollars to create a special division to deal with this non-existent problem. I can see why the state is bankrupt.
