Bill,
That is a question that some have tried to get answered. I can tell you what I was told by the state BAR men. If the other state kept the same VIN as was issued in Calif. for the SB-100 registration, then you just have to go in and have it registered here again with that VIN. But, and here goes all the arguments, I was told that if it was registered in another state and that state changed the VIN and title to whatever they use, that even though the original VIN is still in the Calif. computers system, they still consider it a change of title and you have to do it again even if you give them the original SB-100 VIN number, as they don't care about what it was, just what it is now. What it actually amounts to is who you go to in what DMV and what kind of mood they happen to be in. If they will look up the old SB-100 VIN and accept it then the BAR is out of the picture. If not, then look for maybe getting one of the 500 numbers in 10 or 12 years if they haven't did away with them by then.
