The State of California has some smog information available through their website:

It is really "hit or miss" when you search for a car by license plate number or VIN. Their site also seems to be inconsistent too. My 1985 CHP used to turn up in a search, but not lately. The site also used to identify the location where the car was smogged. In terms of what Aaron supplied you, he had typed in VINs and likely CHP e-plate numbers, kept a list of the "hits", and then cross-referenced the smog certificate numbers to see if any matched. That was QUITE an undertaking!

There are no loopholes for a car that is driven on the roads in California. You can own a fully restored show car, but it must be trailered everywhere. IIRC, you may even be stopped and questioned if the car is on an open trailer, so know the rules and be prepared. Since you want to be able to drive your SSP, then you will need to rethink your options as John suggested.
