As it concerns fraud, if the car was originally titled incorrectly in another State (title washed, Titles Unlimited or other fraud) Calif has no obligation to honor what is all ready a bad title.

I would be VERY careful buying ANY car with a 1965 year on the title unless the HISTORY of that car can be adequatly traced back to it's origin.

For instance, I'm the third owner of my 'titled as 1965' ERA, but I have documentation tracing it from Hawaii, to Calif, to Texas to the manufacturer in 1986! It's a straight up and down deal in regards to the title, meeting every State requirement legally.

Does this mean I could legally register my ERA in California tommorow and be subject ONLY to 1965 smog laws? I think so, but the devil is in the details!
