Brooks,
I had a similar situ in buying a vehicle with no
title/registration and it needed to be "verified" (a
scanty descriptive used to say that they will check
the vehicle for theft or for use in a crime through a
national database).
You have plenty of time to get the vehicle down to
Redwood City because, typically, the CHP schedules
these inspections 2-3 months out.
