If you do a conversion to a 76 car in CA, which requires smog checks do you know how the law works in regards to smog? As I recall there's some fine print if the motor is newer or older than than car it's going in (76)?? I still need to talk to the DMV for their version, but I always like to know the answers to my questions before I ask them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)

What happened to the 30 year old exemption?
We moved to So. Cal from colo and found the newer car vs. newer engine routine, I brought in a '75 with a '69 motor.... but the car was only 28 years old at the time so I kept it registered in Colo. That can get sticky if you get pulled over, luckly we still had an address in Colo! They told me though that once it was 30 years old It wouldn't matter- but we moved before then. |

It's going to take someone like that with big $$$ and a high profile to get the public to realize that the number of cars on the road 30 years and older is so small that that they have little effect on the environment. Also that any 30+ year old cars that are streetable are owned by collectors who keep them fine tuned and not in a "gross polluting" state of disrepair which are the cars the current laws are going after. |

Sorry to bring up a point of contention, but I see a number of 30+ year old cars on the I-5 every day that are on their last legs. Some are "smokers" and some just look like they're about to fall apart. While the folks on this board take extreme pains to ensure our '75 and older teeners are in top condition, this is not always true for all older cars. Eric Read |
