So Im looking at a 74 914 and its currently registered out of state, What will it take to get it registered in CA? Will I need to take it for an inspection? Will I have to get it smogged?
Thanks guys. Andrew |

CA DMV looked at the windshield VIN and told me something was wrong. Not enough numbers they said. Then, they checked something and said it was ok... BUT... and this is a huge but not to be confused with a huge butt - if it is a salvage title from out of state, they send you to CHP who take it into some stall out of your sight and inspect it to make sure it wasn't rebuilt with stolen parts. You also have to get a Brake and LIght inspection if it was salvage titled.
California is kind of still stinging from having to pay back all of the out of state fees they charged in the '90's. Had to pay back $400 + interest to everyone who brought in an out of state car and was charge for it. A Billion or so if I recall correctly. |

Yeah Rob - they were probably under 30 & don't comprehend that VINs weren't always umpteen digits & letters long! ... probably asked an older supervisor who knew WTF was old school! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif) I got a similar first reaction when I called in to DMV to see if my VIN/Plate was still in their records or data base .......... "Huh? .... What's the rest of it???" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) At least our younger Teeners here know what a proper 70's VIN looks like! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) |
