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.
