I have no registration for the car. Might have to ask BIL where that is since he striped the car of everything except the owner's manual.
You will have to get it smogged since it has never been registered in California before.

See: http://dmv.ca.gov/pubs/brochures/howto/htvr1.htm

Edit: Since it's a 2001, no tax will be due. I think it will run about $113 to get it registered and everything. That is exclusive of any fees to do the title transfer.
