Question smog testing in california?

i was told that if your car is about 15 years old you are not required to smog your car anymore? i know that after so many years your car becomes exempt, but does anyone know exactly how many years it is? any info would be great, thanks!

I know I've heard that cars that were made before emissions were a concern don't have to test smog but I'm not sure about one that is like 10 years old. That is a good question.

How old does a vehicle have to be to qualify for a smog exemption?

1973 and older year model vehicles are exempt from the smog certification requirements.
From the DMV website. That was put in place many years ago, and I think they will update that sometime soon. It will probably be closer to 1985 or so.

On another note, what body kit is that on your car in the avatar there? It looks nice.
