The current CA law is vehicles 1975 and earlier are exempt from emission
testing.  For now at least.

But there's a catch to that too.  Now that the BAR/CARB folks are starting
to place those remote "sniffers" along the highway and at selected freeway
on-ramps (complete with a camera), time will come that any pre-76 vehicle
detected as polluting over whatever the sniffer will be photographed, the
vehicle notified that they must report with the vehicle at a "test only"
station to be tested under standards that were place under the previous
state law and of course, must meet that standard.  It's a vicious
circle.....
