Live in California, my car hasn't been registered since '04, no non op?

Yes, IF it's a classic car over 30 or 40? years old you can waive back fees.

I did it once with the help of a DMV registration service in El Monte called Tony's Registration Service.

I bet if you googled: DMV waive back fees classic car or classic car CA DMV back fees you'd find info.
I tried two options... AAA wanted 604.00.....No bueno!
Went online to the HAMB,found a registraion services office in Temecula (CARS...),sent a picture of the DMV listing bill from AAA,and a copy of the pink. They called back in a couple of hours,stated four pieces of paper,and 216 bones fixes it.Thanks for the advice ,guys.
