Runs and drives but is on a "non-op" registration status = won't pass smog.

Thanks for the info. Good to know.

CA is attempting to legislate laws through the DMV that were never written or passed by the state legislature. One such example is when they require you to have an engine and transmission installed in a vehicle before they will do a VIN verification. Comparing the VIN on the title to the numbers on the vehicle should have nothing to do with the engine/trans...and it doesn't. HOWEVER, this practice allows the DMV to monitor/control aftermarket or later model engines that one may install in a smog-exempt vehicle. Pretty sneaky way to get what you want without having a law to cite...but who is going to sue the DMV? Private VIN verifiers are making a load of cash right now because they couldn't care less about engines, just match the numbers on the vehicle to the numbers on the paperwork and get on with it.
