I'm wondering in reference to California specifically - say someone has a car in their barn that was last registered in 1994. When you go to get it registered in your name, are you responsible for the back registration / fees / etc?

I ran into the same issue with my white '69 Camaro. The car had not been registered since 2000. There is a form that DMV carries that the seller would have to fill out stating that the time that the car's tags were expired it was not on a public roadway due to it not running for so and so reason.
