They register just about everything. Give them a call.

Was your car registered as a SPCNS (Specially Constructed vehicle) or something else? I would be amazed if a Cobra replica with a non-emissioned engine could be registered otherwise and bypass the usual, somewhat cumbersome SB 100 process.

But, love to hear if it can be done.

Cliff notes
I did an on line search for mso/registration service. A list came up, went into a local service picked Sticker Quicker, yelp ratings.
Talked to the gentleman. Told him the car was still on the truck. Car showed up,he came over to do the VIN inspection, filled out the forms. Payed the fees
there's and DMV's . Two days later I went back and picked up the plates at their office.
Sticker quicker did all of the paper and foot work.
Could not be happier.

Read your registration. Unless it’s registered as a 2022 SPCNS vehicle with an sb100 sticker on the firewall, it’s been registered incorrectly.

Did this company have you go through the BAR process? If not, I would be very concerned. In 2008 when I bought my BD, my dealer had a second party, a woman, register the cars he sold. She fraudulently registered them using other vin numbers. About 6 months later the CHP and the CA DA sent me a letter that my car was illegally registered, and they were going to impound it. Luckly, I spoke to a very kind and knowledgeable CA DA and he helped me avoid this. I had to reregister my car with SB100. be careful of short cuts. They will come back to bite you.

True Dat! And if it's not registered in CA as an SPCNS (on title AND registration) with an SB100 decal attached somewhere in the engine bay, then it is incorrectly registered. What happens when you need to renew your registration the next year and the DMV requires a smog cert? The only way to be smog exempt for the entire life of the car is with an SB100. Does not sound kosher at all.
