I recently registered a 1964 VW notchback in CA. In my case, they looked at the engine and compared it to some 1964 DMV book that the DMV employee had. Thank goodness my engine was stock because the very nice lady didn't know anything about cars. They had to verify the engine number, but couldn't get to it due to the design of the car. Had a very hard time finding the VIN number. (It was found on the transmission tunnel stamped onto the metal.) Not much of a safety check. Didn't even see if the turn signals or the brake lights worked.
Otherwise, it was pretty painless. Just plan to spend 1/2 day at the DMV.
