I can tell you what’s involved since I did the same a few years ago. It’s almost nothing. No back fees, no need to have the car running or show it to anyone. Simply pay the DMV for new tags and show proof of insurance. I used AAA’s DMV services. The hardest part is finding someone with enough patience to enter the VIN number since the computer says it’s too short. In my case we prepended zeros to fill the field with the last three characters being the true VIN number. Do not include 8MA. Also the registration fees will likely be the cheapest you have paid in recent memory. Mine was $135 while my unremarkable daily driver is closer to $600.
