Hi Sharon.
I've been down that road myself a time or two...... not a lot of
fun.
Ca DMV will remove the vehicle from the database after a certain
number of years, maybe four? At that time, to get it registered, you
have to take it to the local DMV office to get it verified - they
look at the VIN and license number to make sure it matches the title.
Getting around the fees is unlikely.
So now you have a couple choices - wait it out - unless you went to
the DMV to get the ball rolling (ie, began registration) - that
likely started the clock running anew:-( Or, I hate to say it, but if
the car is a freebie, it's probably not worth the hassle.... keep it
as a parts car and get another roadster.... Or if the roadster
hasn't gotten into your bloodstream yet, sell it as a parts car, or
out of state.
FWIW
