Duck,
Yes, California has SB-100 which allows 500 vehicles per year to be registered. They are registered to the year built, ie 2005 for this year and then you go to the CHP and they assign a Vin number. then to the BAR and tell them if you want to register it via body year style or engine year. BAR guy sticks the sniffer in it, then puts your smog exempt sticker on. But that is 500 numbers a year in a state that claims they are going to pull in excess of 50,000 titles from older vehicles that were registered before we had SB-100. This year the 500 numbers were gone in about 9 hours.
