Any idea where in California? Just heard of a guy in my town buying a 76 from out of state. Everywhere in the state requires smog for at least 1976 forward, upon purchase and every two years after that for the rest of the car's life. No plans to grandfather 1976 cars into 'no-smog' status ever. Does anyone know the precise cutoff date for smog/no smog? Is it 1975? Any month? Year manufacutred, or year sold? |

Normally its the model year, IE no smog on 75 and smog tests on 76. The build date doesn't fit in the equation. There was some talk on the old 914 club regarding first registration date, meaning a 76 first registered (in or out of Ca. I don't know?) before April may not need a smog but in the thread you got the impression you had to argue you case because the law didn't come into effect until April, hence cars first registered before that date weren't included. This may not be the right situation and I may have the facts all wrong and I have no first hand experience with this, but did here of a member who did. Don't remember who, maybe someone does??? |
