The SB100 process is for new vehicles without a title. For example, they titled my car as a 2005, but the SB100 gives me smog exemption. Your 1967 title is like a free ride on the California DMV express.

Sir, please allow me to be perfectly blunt here.....YOU ARE WRONG.
Dead wrong. The CA DMV will run the former '67 title against their vast database and this SPF will be red-flagged for a "VIN verification". If the owner is lucky, he will then go see his local CHP and they will tack on their own VIN tag (which will start the whole SB100 process). You can run but you can't hide (any longer). If the owner is unlucky, they will impound his vehicle and it will never be able to be legally registered in the State of CA.
Please perform some more research (do a search under "SB100" on this forum) before posting inaccuracies. Trust me, there are several on this forum (including myself) that went this route and we all have our war stories to share. Follow the DMV guidelines (assuming you get a number in '06) and all will be well.
