Not entirely true, unless CA closed the loophole.
You can purchase a used previously titled ERA, or any specially-constructed Cobra from any state that legally allows you to title your Cobra as a 1965, then the State of California has to accept that 1965 title and register your Cobra. In theory, you would be smog exempt because it has been registered as a 1965.
Now whether you would want to do that, is up to you, but I would prefer to go through the SPCNS/SB100 process and get all the proper paperwork and smog exemption that way with a used previously titled Cobra from another state. You never know what happens in the future with our laws.
Also, don't cheat the State of California on sales taxes by underestimating the value of your car, which folks may try to do with that old 1965 title from another state. That's illegal.
