Default Cobra Registration - CAL

I'm moving back to CAL (Sonora, CAL) later this year from Arizona. I purchased a Cobra several years ago from California - one that was registered as a 1965 Cobra under mysterious circumstances. Anyway, it was and is registered as a 1965 Cobra in Arizona.

My understanding is that since it's not a "1965 Ford" in the eyes of the CA DMV, then it's title will need to changed to SPCNS (Specially Constructed Vehicle) when I return to CAL. I also understand that the next question is what kinda engine does it have? My engine is a 1968 428 FE, a vintage engine, that will result in a smog requirement based on 1968 standards. I don't view that as a problem as I don't remember hardly any smog standards in the 60's in CAL.

Does this sound correct? I would hate to face the SB100 sequence number fiasco as those numbers are hard to secure.

A confirmation of my understanding would be appreciated or any other input.

Thanks.
