This doesn't address the California issue, but re Oregon Plates & temp
registration:
In all of my transactions over 30 years, buy and sell, the plates have
stayed with the car.
Relatively recently, instead of 5-15-30 day (or whatever) temporary
permit, Oregon now issues a 20 day temporary permit for $20 (I might be a
little off on the time frame or $ amount) but the critical issue is that
you can only renew it once.
I do not know how this would affect a new owner, driving it to CA, where
the previous owner has used up his allocation.
There are a lot of cars on the road that couldn't pass the
environmental/emissions test that would perpetually renew a temporary
license instead of fixing the car (why do I know this? - ask me about my
#$#^ Acura legend! Oh, the fine is $60 for driving without a current
registration or permit.)
With nothing more than routine maintenance, I have never had a problem
with the emissions test on the 1987 505.
