I don't know if you are in this state already or not, but be sure you get it registered within I think it is 2 weeks or 10 days from the time you bring it in, or at least tell them so with no paper trail. When I first moved here, I had a pickup and wifes car 10 years ago, and with time penalty (I think it was 3 weeks), I had a $800 and some dollar registration fee. I thought the girl was messing with me, nope, welcome to sunny CA. Considering my PA registration would have been like 60 bucks, ouch. I had my 60 vette here in pieces for about 7 years, and once I finished restoring it, I took it to get the front end aligned, and had a guy meet me there that did registration work, and he took care of everythinhg, and yes he did need to see the vin number. I told him I just brought it in to the state last week. Cost a couple extra bucks, but was well worth it in my grief.
