I already went to the dmv and they would not register it as anything but a 2005. they told me themselves that the new law would require that I have to have safty bumbers, cat converters, drivers side airbag etc etc. I don't know when the last time you went to DMV without a pink and it had fallen off the books was but that's how it is now. They are actually trying to get all the old cars off the streets. It sucks
I know this is probably an old post but having lived in California and registered vehicles there and running around in the local Hot Rod crowd, I've heard that you can register under "Vintage" status. You'll have to take your vehicle to the local referee so that they can go over it.

That's my 2 cents and i'm stickin 2 it.

Not having lived there for sometime the only alternative that I could suggest would be to have someone out of state register it in your name there then transfer it to Cali. But that is mucho deniero and highly agin the rules.

Boy I'm glad i live up here in Washington now
