more than half of california is still smog exempt, except most towns still have to smog in within their county jurisdiction. you used to be able to use a PO box but most state governments found too many people using that bypass, even nevada now requires proof of residence.

This is the reason why im staying old school; pre-76 remains smog test exempt lol

Im not concerned with the roadside rolling smog machines since i have the supporting docs that my two RX-3s are not daily driven and they look stock.

even with pre-76 vehicles there is still a law stipulating it must not be swapped and retain all factory emissions equipment.

expect the popo to be picking up my cars later today mel. there's no such rules here so i can take them off your hands for a fair price minus shipping.
