Wow.  I am constantly grateful I do not live in Ca.  Here is the Virginia 
information, if all else fails:  There are two documents, a title, and a 
registration (license plates).  Having only the title is sufficient if the 
car is not being operated and to get one all you need is a previous title 
and/or bill-of-sale.  There is a three percent sales tax, but that does not 
apply if you already paid sales tax to another state.  You can have as many 
unregistered cars as you want, as long as you can prove you own them.  There 
is no "penalty" for letting the registration expire.  To get a registration, 
you only need a title, except in a couple urban areas where they give you a 
30-day registration to get emissions test, then come back for the regular 
registration.  You might need some sort of mailing address in VA.  
Technically, if the car is operated in Virginia over a certain period (either 
30, 60, or 90 days I forget which), it needs to be registered in Virginia.  
You are probably ok without since yours is only in Va for restoration, and it 
is not being operated.  By the way if you have a valid registration, you need 
insurance even if the car is not being driven.  Good luck.
