I don't know if the seven year thing is still the fact or not. Certain cars were scrapped in a way that they could never be registered in California again. Those cars never seem to leave the computer system. I'm not sure how that worked. I know a certain Daytona Iroc R/T that was saved, but cannot be registered...
Jim,
I'm going to guess that those cars are part of a Cash for Clunkers Bill or some other source of BS. I'm going to guess again that DMV moved those cars to a status like "Non-Operation" which lasts forever in the system.
