a 1965 engine block and heads to be smog exempt, more power to you. No way you
cxan have a 6 speed tranny either, and very likely you can toss a 5 speed out the
window as well. The N/V ratio deal seems pretty bad as well.

It's stuff like this that made me make the statement that an RCR SLC is MAYBE registerable, and maybe not, even though Fran insists that it is registerable. The only way I saw to get it registered in CA would be to put an old engine/trans in it, use the tags from a 1960 something donor car, or try and get an exemption by using alcohol. That's pretty much why I came to this thread. I wanted to know how to go about getting a car like the SLC registered, and if it was even possible. My family has two places in AZ. Maybe the best thing to do, if I ever get an SLC or something of its ilk, would be to just register it in AZ, but I know the 30 day rule, and I can't believe a car like the SLC wouldn't be pulled over frequently just so the leo could have a look see. The AZ plates would probably have to go pretty quick. Then the question is, would it be easier to transfer the vehicle from another state, or do a virgin in CA?
I understand that the rule in CA says that if the year of the vehicle and engine can not be determined, then it is considered a 1960 vehicle. What exactly do they look for to date the vehicle and engine? Just the stampings, or the style/series production of the engine/vehicle?
