Ah so where you said before "AFAIK Federal law trumps State law", it really doesn't if you are in CA!
A clear title would be transferable in any state, whether a car will pass that state road worthiness or emission tests applicable to it's year for registration is a separate issue. I believe it is a legal requirement in CA for a dealer to sell a car to a CA resident it has to have a smog certificate, hence the "cannot be sold to CA resident" will often appear. I have seen it here at Hot August Nights Auctions, as there are a high percentage of Californians coming over to take advantage of our beautiful state offers, unfortunately they are forgetting to go home (maybe as they can't drive the car back they just purchased) and end up trying to recreate what they left....
Establishing an out of state residence where there are no state taxes not only allows you drive your classic car, but will save you on taxes too with the new tax bill.

Once it has a clear title issued from a USA state, it should be transferrable.
That is not true. California, for example, has its own laws regarding what cars can drive on its roads. I have seen many cars at auctions in CA with signs saying "cannot be sold to a California resident" on them.
Beyond the crash test issues, in CA any car younger than 1975 has to pass a tailpipe emissions test to be registered. Good luck with that car.

I would ask for DOT documentation prior to purchase also.
A call to DOT in DC is advisable to confirm that the VIN doesn't have any problems.

AFAIK Federal law trumps State law. So AFAIK you can't import a car from overseas that was never "federalized", meaning crash testing and such, not just emissions, until it is 25 yrs old.
