The bottom paragraph below is a direct quote from Morgester's last post regarding registering cars titled (outside CA) as "1965 Ford". You can search his posts and select the latest one to read the whole story.

Last year, I purchased an SPF from Arizona, without even knowing about SB100 and breezed through the registration process, paying every tax penny owed. California DMV used the VIN assigned by Arizona (the car has two VIN Plates) and sent me a California title for my 1965 Ford. No smog, no problem.

I was going to take the car through the SB100 process, anyway, until I read the below in early December and decided to sleep in instead.

From Morgester:

"2. With reference to the out-of-state registration and California’s full faith and credit statute. DMV will honor all legally acquired title. Assuming you follow all of the rules in the titling state (residence, taxes, disclosures), the titling states documents will be honored. If the titling state lists the vehicle as a 1965 Ford, it will be registered in California as a 1965 Ford. A 1965 vehicle is not referred for emission testing."
