I'm new to this forum and am thankful to find it as the most credible information on SB100 on the web.

I'm looking to purchase a Superformance Cobra with a Crate motor that was registered in Ohio as a 1965 cobra. The car is now located in CA and was possibly registered in CA as a 1965 Cobra as well. I do not think it is legally registered. The seller states "Not for sale in CA."

These are my questions I hope to get answered:
1. Is there a situation where it cannot be legally registered in CA even if I were to get lucky and get a SB100 number?

2. Is it possible to apply and get a SB100 number without yet purchasing the vehicle?

3. How does the DMV currently distribute the SB100 numbers (I live in Pleasanton CA)?
-Is there a lottery or does it pay off to be the first one in line on Jan 2nd?
-Is there a form specifically for the SB100 application that I can fill out prior to Jan 2nd?

Thanks for any help on this topic.
