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.

You will need to wait for a bit. We recently requested a bunch of cards, but were not able to get any of them this time. However, a couple of members are trying other ways to obtain the cards. We will certainly let everyone know if that happens.

I was in contact with Robert at the Ripon show.
Good to see him there.
Talked some about the cards and we are still on hold. It's a superviosor issue. Things will change, it will be some time though.
In time, but we'll get them.

Sounds like Nevada Hwy Patrol is contracting with CHP Fleet Services to run their new patrol cars through that facility for service assembly.
Should be pretty neat.
I am going to go down there when they start and get some pictures, hopefully of the first cars going through on the assembly line.

Will be interesting !

Ok, I will stay on alert for when we can get those assignment cards again!

Sorry John, I already got pictures of the first two guinea pig SUV's

It would be cool if I got to tag along. *nudge nudge*
