Any car made after 1966, requires a "smog" inspection. This inspection is
composed of two parts: a mechanical inspection to insure that ALL the
original anti-smog equipment is present, and a gas emissions analysis.
My understanding is there is a bill in CA legislature to convert the
static post-1966 year requirement to a floating 20/30 year requirement.

If you have access to a web browser, look at http://www.dmv.ca.gov --- The
CA DMV web site.
