A couple of months agao, I purchased an out-of-state Superformance Cobra titled as "1965", and registered it in California before I had found this site and before I knew of the SB100 situation.

My car actually has two different VIN's: the original one that came with the car (riveted to a cross member) and the one that the other state attached to it, right next to the original.

When I went to DMV to register the car, there was some confusion as to which VIN should be used. Finally, a DMV supervisor came out, looked at the VIN plates and made the decision to use the VIN assigned by the other state (not the original) for California registration/title purposes. He said the rule was to accept the VIN attached by the other state.

I don't know if this situation relates in any way to California DMV giving "full faith and credit" to the model year noted on the title issued by the other state or not, but thought I would post it for comment.

In any event, I don't plan on being the test case for this, and so will take Mr. Morgester's advice and be on line on January 2nd (sigh).
