I just realized you're in California. You might want to keep tabs with the local rod community about the crack down on "questionable" titles in your state. I've read where there's a good editorial on the issue in the latest (or previous?) issue of Street Rodder magazine. Could be why some of those Cali guys are unloading their glass projects.....trying anyway.

Thanks, that is a bit of good info. I have a MN address and have other vehicles registered there, so that might be a good avenue, looking for people who are unloading their projects in Cali!
I think the State/Gov is just trying to run us Hot Rodders out of the State!

Couple friends did the same thing...So Dak titled both cars with absolutely no problem... Nothing shady or illegal about it, just IMO Caliphony trying their best to get Hot Rods put back in the garage so there's more room on the (overcrowded) freeways for another Prius or two!!! With the taxes, and penalties, etc...gonna be tougher everyday to tolerate Hot Roddin' out there..... Know of a couple who've packed up shop, employees and all and vacated to be Uncle Bob's neighbors out there in Vegas!

Even the Eastern home of Taxes and Fees, (New York State) didn't give me any problem registering my '31 with a good bill of sale this past June.

Maybe that's why I sell 60 - 70% of my builds to guys in Californicate, as my cars have "Clean" AZ titles as first year of MFG as 1932.
The paper work alone is worth 3 - 5K to a guy in the fruit and nut state.

From what I understand, California license plate costs are based on the age and price of the vehicle rather than a set fee like some other states. I believe the contention in California involves a loss of revenue when a street rod is titled as a 1932 rather than given a new title which will generate more revenue. Iowa is like that, too. And then there is the small allotment of emissions exemptions needed by street rodders to register their vehicles. Here in Illinois , it is simply a set fee depending on what kind of plate you have. A regular plate is $99.00 while my prestige plate is $125.00. I did not have any problem licensing my '32 here and it did not have to be inspected.

Hey there Apache.
How bout sumthin like this 1?

Before I forget, let me know what classifieds you guys have found that have good deals pop up now and then! I know the normal ones, but there are so many out there, I don't know which ones guys would post a 32 Ford or parts etc!
