Thats news to me, Zach. The 75-76b cars that Ron has been peddling didnt need to be smogged. Maybe I didnt notice that they had antique tags on them. Crap....that changes everything. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

The smog for pre 94 cars is just visual. That may be easier than you think to get passed. I will call Ron and see what he knows.


They do a visual, and pressurize the gas cap to make sure it does not leak.

Neither my car or your car will have a cat, EGR, smog pump, etc. The visual inspection guy would have to be nearly blind (or bribed) to pass it. There are other loopholes, like trying to get it titled as a hot rod. But I think thats more of a pain, and has mostly the same restrictions as Antique.

If Ron can get 75+ non-catted cars to pass the smog test, please let me know how! I may have missed a loophole somewhere - or I'll take my car for him to smog!

That photo of the flooring seems odd to me! It's been cleaned of original tar coating and Por15'd or just painted under and just in front of the bucket areas right!? See the the stop line just into the floor boards where the coating wasn't removed. This is all fine if there wasn't some serious corrosion (in the floor pan edging etc..). Also the top of the passenger side horizontal seat support channel looks as though it was welded along the top edges???? Maybe just my old eyes and/or the photo quality.

I say have somebody look real close for corrosion cover ups! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Zach, Ron knows a guy up here if you know what I mean (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) Also, he said that no one enforces the antique tag mileage limits. To get a charge to stick an officer would have to have documentation of your mileage, so the law is inherently flawed (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

I went that route in CA back in 80's. I got one guy to let me through and then he left. I had dual carbs and no one would pass it for me. It became such a major pain in the ass I eventually traded the car in to a dealer. This was before the days of e-bay. You WILL regret it.

What the hell is that all over the bottom? Seems a bit on the high side. You've seen this car Mike? If I could see it and check it out for myself I might buy it. If I were you that is. I'd want to see the longs. Is it going to cost you money to get it home?

Joe Owensby called me and looked at it today. He is gonna send me some pics. I am not in a hurry to get this car as it has some detractors, but is not really bad from the sound of things. I would be driving it home from SC with a stop off in VA.

Mike,

If you drive any PA car less than 5k/year, you're exempt from smog. How many miles do you figure?

Anything you ever wanted to know about PA emissions inspections.

My 76 passed visual without an EGR filter but otherwise it is stock so may not be the best thing to judge by.

County: York
Year: 1975
Vehicle: Car
Tests: Visual Check and Gas Cap Check
Note: Brand-new vehicles and vehicles driven under 5000 miles annually may qualify for an exemption sticker. Ask your service provider for more details.

Disclaimer: Gasoline-powered motor vehicles with a model year of 1975 and newer with a GVWR of 9,000 pounds or less and registered in an I/M county or region are subject to an emission inspection. Actual test requirements based on make and model, drive system, vehicle weight, etc. The regulations in Title 67 Pa. Code, Chapter 177 shall determine the test type for any individual vehicle.


Huh! I did not know about the smog exemption for miles under 5000 a year. I'll have to look into that further.

Yeah, its legit, I was asked the last time I got emissions done on the Miata. I think you have to pay a few bucks for the exempt sticker. They always find a way to get money from you.

Thats great news, thanks! There is no way I do near 5000mi on the 914. I have too many vehicles (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

This opens up some avenues, but I would still rather a 73-74.
