I think some in here are mistaken when they make certain assumptions... I may be one of them myself.

Here are a few:

1-If you have a car that will accept a 1965 model engine, you should be subjected to the emissions that applied to that engine.
WRONG.!
You can't put an engine in a vehicle older than the model year of the vehicle hoping the engine alone would make you smog exempt.

2-If you have a kit/roller/completed/incomplete Cobra from Kirkhams, Shelby, Everett Morrison what have you..you don't have a 1965 model car. You have something that looks like a car built in 1965. That is all. The car is still 2003.
If the state ,insisted that you put in an engine closer to the vintage of the year of manufacture, you and I would stuck with a box of expensive engine parts. Can you say E-Bay?

3-Take advantage of SB-100. If you do all will be well.
WRONG!
They gave it and they can taketh away...

4-I don't live in California, it doesn't effect me.
WRONG!
Look at all the wonderful regulations we have managed to export to other states. Both in areas of personal freedom restriction and revenue raising.Gun ownership, smoking, emissions, etc.

5-They are only after 19 or 29 or 39 cars, that were registered by Titles Unlimited!
WRONG!
They have the goods on Titles Unlimited. TU has been advertising and operating here in California for a longtime. They want a solid case beginning with TU and ending with........ your guess is as good as mine.

6-They are after Cobras.
WRONG!
There are NOT enough Cobras in California or anywhere else that were improperly registered to make it worth their time. They are after ALL CARS falling into this category. There are far more Hot Rods here and everywhere else that would become the pot of gold they are looking for.

7-If we all register our cars the way California wants us to, there won't be any problem.
WRONG!
500 numbers allowed for special contruction were not all used up last year. They WILL be this year for sure. If we exceed that number, they won't necessarily increase it. They may actually reduce it, under the pretense of the impact of all these smog hog gross polluters, that we are!

8-Meat is here only to help you!
RIGHHHTTTTT!
