This does in fact sound like a loophole in titling an out of state car. And doesn't this bring us full circle back to why the SB100 was started in the first place. To weed out the smog exemptions? So then why is California tracking down these 1965 titled replicas as being fraudulent?

When I was shopping for my Cobra I saw one of these 1965 registered replicas (17 digit vin)and was also shown a bill for insurance on the same car for a rediculously low anual amount (approx $200/yr). The car was appraised at near 50K. This all seemed very legit at the time (2004).

Even with my A plus multi vehicle policy I pay more than triple that amount for a considerable lower valued Cobra titled 1997 with the SB100 number.

I know this is a regitration issue but the way it's registered and titled does affect the cost of insurance. I would prefer the 1965 title for this reason alone. It's way cheaper every 6 months.

I'm curious if there is any discussion regarding this issue?
