Not sure what to think on this one. I'm no fan of CA's often heavy-handed and overly politically-correct bureaucracy, but we all gotta breathe. Are "collector cars" causing a smog problem? No. But just today I was sitting at a stoplight behind a rusty POS mid '70's Ford that was running so rich it literally made my eyes water. Should that be exempt from smog testing?

Chances are that car won't be on the road much longer. Once a "beater" has a major problem they are not economical to repair.

CA emission test question
 

I have a 1973 Mercedes 450 SL that I may be registering in California. Does the new emission test law now require that the car be tested. It was exempt under the "30 year" rule.

The answer to your question is in the link that I provided in the opening post of this thread.
