Exactly what you just said, that's the difference. If you're buying a car from another state and bringing it in, that's different than taking a car out of state, registering it, and then bring it back in. That falls under 'washing the title,' and is a felony.
The DMV flags questionable cars. A pre-smog car coming in from another state? That's flagable. A car with an Alabama title? Flagged. Cars that are not on any computer in any state? Flagged.
Don't do any of that in California. You do not need to; we have the BEST law regarding kit cars in the U.S.! Registering your car properly will help you keep your car, will keep you out of jail, and will make the DMV happy. The DMV just wants their money. The CHP just wants to enforce the vehicle code. Nobody wants to stop you from driving your car...But if you break the law, you will go to jail.
SB100 was a godsend to the Cobra guys. The car gets registered as a brand new SPCN vehicle, with a 1965 smog exemption. What could be better? I've helped alot of people register their cars this way, and it's slick, it's easy, and it's legal.
