Check the threads that Dep. Attorney General Robert Morgester has graciously shared with us about the previously registered "1965 or 1966" vehicles, that weren't really made in those years and what the State is intending to do about them.

Your best bet is to comply with California's laws and do what the DMV wants you to do. You may slip by with a previously titled 1965 or 66 registration and may escape further scrutiny while the State's A.G. looks into those years of vehicles that were recently registered to new owners for potential "rule skirting".

At the end of the day, the rules are out there to review, albeit they're interpreted differently from one DMV to the next, and you need to make your decision on how long you want to look over your shoulder at who may be wanting to talk to you. I waited in line on Jan 2 and am now done. And fully legal.
