1. In one of your answers, it sounded as if the titled car would be easier to register in CA than the untitled car. Do you think that is the case? Is the bond only needed for the untitled car? If a bond is needed, does the bond stay with the car for the life of the car and while it remains registered in CA?

Ans - Jdog is right. The easy route is a California car already SB100 compliant. If you are near Sacramento, Thudmaster just mentioned he wanted some time away from his SPF which is legally registered-see his photos. You will be jumping through a variety of hoops if you go any other way. Not impossible, just more labor intensive.

Bond - You know, once I got my SB100 number I "round-filed" the bond. The bond is not an issue once the car is Ca. registered.

B.If the CO for the titled car was surrendered at the other state's DMV, how would you determine the year of manufacture (assuming it says 1965 or 1966 and not 2001 or 2005)? Do I get a copy from the manufacturer?

Ans. - Contact the manufacturer for a duplicate CO. California returned mine after registration.

Much easier to contact the seller if you have problems if he/she is 1 or 2 hours away vs 1 or 2 days!!

Good luck!
