And I said that my friend said that you were able to obtain show car registration, I thought he knew what he was talking about. And feeling bad I did offer you a generous solution... A solution that would be no more illegal than removing a cat off a 75 C3.
Vehicle Pollution Emission Standards: 1955 Through 1965 Model Year Motor Vehicles
27157.5. The State Air Resources Board, after consultation with, and pursuant to the recommendations of, the commissioner, shall adopt such reasonable standards as it determines are necessary for the public health and safety for the emission of air pollutants from the exhaust of motor vehicles of 1955 through 1965 model years. These standards shall be based on the normal emissions of such cars when the timing and carburetor are in proper adjustment and the spark plugs are in proper operating condition.
Added Ch. 1095, Stats. 1971. Operative May 3, 1972.
Certificates of Compliance or Inspection: 1955 Through 1965 Model Year Motor Vehicles
27158.5. After notice by a traffic officer that a motor vehicle does not comply with any standard adopted pursuant to Section 27157.5, no person shall operate, and no owner shall permit the operation of, such motor vehicle for more than 30 days thereafter unless a certificate of compliance has been issued for such vehicle in accordance with the provisions of Section 9889.18 of the Business and Professions Code or unless the department has checked the vehicle and determined that the vehicle has been made to comply with such standard adopted pursuant to Section 27157.5. A certificate of compliance issued for such vehicle shall, for a period of one year from date of issue, constitute proof of compliance with the standards determined pursuant to Section 27157.5.
Amended Ch. 769, Stats. 1974. Effective January 1, 1975.
Vehicle Pollution Emission Regulations
27157. The State Air Resources Board, after consultation with, and pursuant to the recommendations of, the commissioner, shall adopt such reasonable regulations as it determines are necessary for the public health and safety regarding the maximum allowable emissions of pollutants from vehicles upon a highway.
Such regulations shall apply only to vehicles required by Part 5 (commencing with Section 43000) of Division 26 of the Health and Safety Code or any federal law or regulation to be equipped with devices or systems to control emission of pollutants from the exhaust and shall not be stricter than the emission standards required of that model year motor vehicle when first manufactured.
One of the many greasy laws in Part 5 of Division 26 ->
43610.
The state board shall set standards for, and certify,
exhaust devices to significantly reduce the emission of oxides of
nitrogen from 1966 through 1970 model year motor vehicles, as
determined by the state board from a representative sampling of such
motor vehicles, which the state board has found to be necessary and
technologically feasible to carry out the purposes of this division.
In setting standards under this section, the primary consideration
shall be the greatest possible reduction of oxides of nitrogen.
Don't see the one for 70-75 but I'm sure it's there. There's nothing magical about those 5 years.
Vehicular Air Pollution Control
43000. The Legislature finds and declares as follows:
(a) The emission of air pollutants from motor vehicles is the primary cause of air pollution in many parts of the state.
(b) The control and elimination of those air pollutants is of prime importance for the protection and preservation of the public health and well-being, and for the prevention of irritation to the senses, interference with visibility, and damage to vegetation and property.
(c) The state has a responsibility to establish uniform procedures for compliance with standards which control or eliminate those air pollutants.
(d)
Vehicle emission standards applied to new motor vehicles, and to used motor vehicles equipped with motor vehicle pollution control devices, are standards with which all motor vehicles shall comply.
(e) Dependence on petroleum based fuels in motor vehicles not only contributes to substantial degradation of air quality and risk to public health, but also impedes the state's progress toward the petroleum use reduction goal prescribed in Section 25000.5 of the Public Resources Code.
(Amended Ch. 900, Stats. 1991. Effective January 1, 1992.)
Amended Ch. 373, Stats. 1979. Effective January 1, 1980.
Certificates of Compliance; Vehicle Inspection
27158. After notice by a traffic officer that a vehicle does not comply with any regulation adopted pursuant to Section 27157, no person shall operate, and no owner shall permit the operation of, such vehicle for more than 30 days thereafter unless a certificate of compliance has been issued for such vehicle in accordance with the provisions of Section 9889.18 of the Business and Professions Code or unless the department has checked the vehicle and determined that the vehicle has been made to comply with such regulation adopted pursuant to Section 27157. A certificate of compliance issued for such vehicle shall, for a period of one year from date of issue, constitute proof of compliance with any regulations adopted pursuant to Section 27157 provided that no required pollution control device has been disconnected, modified, or altered or has been adjusted by other than a licensed installer in a licensed motor vehicle pollution control device installation and inspection station subsequent to the issuance of the certificate of compliance. The provisions of this section shall apply to the United States and its agencies to the extent authorized by federal law.
Amended Ch. 769, Stats. 1974. Effective January 1, 1975.
