While I think that it would be easy to get the car back for CA smog, why the hassle and the added risk? Being in CA, you live in 911 heaven and you can buy one that is smogged by the previous owner, before you buy it. I would not look anywhere else than in CA. You can't tell me that there is an SC in Texas of some sort, that you can't find here as well.
Buy one locally, get it over with.
