Default CA Registration - it's done!

Short story - purchased a Cobra from CA when I was in AZ, registered it in AZ (as a 1965 Ford - as it was registered in CA)- no issues, no problems. Moved to CA, DMV came after the car - illegally registered in CA.

One year later, SB100 in place, BAR done - had to purchased a Bond, lights/brakes, VIN changed - it's done and legal. Cost - around $3,500.

Advice - don't buy a replica in CA that doesn't have an SB100, don't move to CA with a replica. Be prepared for a hellacious and long 'experience' with the CA DMV when a replica is involved, but always be nice to DMV personnel, especially the local people. Always have a lot of money.
