UNFORTUNATELY in Cali mine is registered under its build year (2003) with coveted SB100 exemption.

Anyone have any experience with this situation?

i've also read that under no circumstances mention that it is a replica or kit car?

There are no liens or anything on the car.

Technically, as a 2003, it is now 20 years old, as such, even as a kit car, you are looking at a personal property tax of $35-$60 annually.

PS: I was worried about my "vintage" cars when we moved here, my 69 GT500 Shelby fastback, $27/year in personal property taxes. Cars ten years and newer will be higher...2013 Subaru Legacy was $271/yr last year......Again, just as an example.
