Your best bet is to find one of your old California registration slips and see if you can claim "non-operational" for the last few years, and a lost or misplaced title. If they get even a hint of your out of state registration, you haven't got a chance. I'm not certain about the import to California rules about cars older than 25 years, but newer cars are subject to a smog impact fee just for bringing it across the state line, whether is was originally a California car or not. By the way, if you are an AAA member, you can get your plates there, and avoid the DMV.
