Thanks for the well wishes everyone! Here is an update: So I was able to get whats called a 500 series number from Sacramento (only 500 issued every year). This will make the car a SPCNS or special make/model replica/kit car. Since the engine (351w) is out of a 69 Mach One, it looks like the car will be registered as a 69 Ford, not 1991 which was the year CR produced the body. The next step is a VIN verification by the CHP, then an appointment with a BAR Smog Referee (fantasy football anyone???) where the car should get a placard saying it is origional equipment and no smog is required. Then back to the DMV to get the final registration issued. After all this, I need to submit a SB100 form, which will make the car free from ever having to be smogged.

Never an easy way of doing things in the great state of Ca!

I bought the car in Nevada and it hasn't been registered since 2007. The previous owner drove it once a month to keep the juices going and only put 2000 miles on it over the 10 years he owned it. It has a total of 26,000 miles on it now. The car is in incredable shape (i will post pics soon) and is in the shop now getting a complete tune up/check up etc...
