If you show up here from out of state and have a 1965 titled car from another state that does not have a 1965 VIN number you will be re titled here with a title that has 0000 in the year slot. If you show up in time to get one of 500 slots you will be given a spcns certificate. If you arrive after the 500 slots have been given you are invited to come back next year.

Once you have your certificate you will be required to take a one time smog test at a Bureau of Automotive Repair (state run) station. At that time you will be issued a sticker which is permanantly attached to your vehicle. You will need to return to the DMV (or proceed to the CHP for verification) and finalize the paper work. The year of your car will then appear as the same year it was processed as a specially constructed vehicle.

DMV liscense and registration on a vehicle purchase (new or used vehicle) is generally 10% This includes the 7.XXX% tax which is collected as sales tax, then a registration fee which is fixed and a liscense fee which declines as the vehicle ages to a min. amount (about $56 anually) The sales tax is a one time tax collected by the state just like all other sales taxes are.

My contention remains the only possible reason for the visit to the BAR is to be identified and listed as a gross polluter. My car had been registered since 1988 and had been smogged 4 months before I started the SB-100 process and every 2 years since 1988. It had an old BAR label and was previously inspected. As such the only reason to return to the BAR was to be relisted and identified as a potential enviro terrorist.

I am sure to be labled here as well for suggestion the State would do this. The thing is it has happened before. Stalin had a list. Hitler had a list (and a permanent labling system). In 1942 tens of thousands of Americans were put on lists. Those Japanese looking Americans were invited into internment camps for the duration of WWII. In 1989 the State of California started a list of gun owners. Some of those gun owners have received letters asking that their legally purchased firearms be turned in, or evidence be provided that they were made non operational, sent out of state or destroyed. So don't tell me it can't happen. I have the letters and the documents from the AG's office which direct local authorities to do this. I would be happy to send them to anyone who cares to have them.

I hope I'm wrong. I hope this is all good intentioned bureacratic BS at it's best. I just don't think it is.
