Hello Everyone
Hoping for some advice... Saw this ad and spoke to the owner about it. http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?showtopic=357906 Have not seen it in person but thinking about buying and converting it to a street car. I am new to Cali and wondering how painful would it be to register this for a title through the DMV I believe its old enough not to need a smog test. Current owner has had it for 1.5 years probably not plated or registered Thanks for any advice Mike |

Those of us in California do not refer to our state as Cali.

Mike,
I bought a 914 race car and returned it to street legal. First, get the VIN have DMV or Auto Club ( if your a member) run it for back fees. If the current owner didn’t non-op it before turning it into a track car there can be hundreds of $$ in back fees and fines. Mine ended up being $672. Second, use one of those private registration services. They don’t charge a hell of a lot, but will save you numerous trips to DMV. Ask your insurance company if they need to inspect it before insuring it. It took me three visits to Auto Club before they would insure it. You need insurance to get it registered. Be patient, but it is possible. |

That’s a 1976 MY according to the vin sticker. Unless there are stamped vins elsewhere on the car that start with 475…. You’re outa luck, car needs smog in CA = RUN AWAY!!!

Welcome to our Golden State Mike from a Cali native (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif)
Hope that you don't get sideways if I would refer to Detroit as Motor City or Motown ¿¿ A lady friend of decades ago was a Detroit native & she had another nickname for that city...but won't bring that up (IMG:style_emoticons/default/lol-2.gif) I guess LL cool J and Notorious BIG couldn't fit the word California into their lyric format...so (IMG:style_emoticons/default/party.gif) "Going back to Cali, strictly for the weather" Get yourself a sorted out 914 and (safely) enjoy the local canyons + some club racing.

If the car is not in the System you also must have a State Certified inspection. That person will look for multiple stickers, some 914s don't have. then if you go to DMV.......
Some of the registration companies also do the certification/inspection. |

Welcome to California!
There are plenty of 914s out there, there is no reason to purchase a 1976 car when all the other 914s don't have to be smogged. In addition this is a 49 state car so even when new it couldn't pass CA emissions. For future reference the DMV website allows you to calculate how much is owed. A lot of owners let their registrations lapse and the penalties and fees will go back at least 4 years which can easily total $600+. And then you have to pay the sales/transfer tax. When you do buy a car, sort this information out beforehand. |
