Nevada smog req, Dang they're tough Options

[Rand]

In Washington, my 914 was exempt. I miss that!

Now in Nevada, everything newer than 1966 has to pass smog every year! What a pain. This definitely impacts my next purchase.

Apparently getting it registered as a historic vehicle lessens the requirements though. John/Vegasracer, I think I saw you have historic plates? Do you have to deal with annual checks?

I'd consider a 356. all models pre 66!!!!! hop up the motor and it can be fun too, very light car. but it wont ever have the handling potential of the 914 ( A 550 comes to mind, how deep your pocket???)


hey in california they were going to roll back the smog year until some envirowacko lib from Mt. View ont eh state legislature got her pet smog law passed and doned all post 75 cars to smog testing complete with increasinly stricter smog levels, tests never meant to be run on such old cars, and expensive dyno testing (with mutli $10,000 of state mandated equipment required to be purchased by each smog station) it is an expnsive and burocratic mess here too. only bright side for NOW is most 914 modles are test exempt. However EVERY year NEW SMOG LEGISLATION IS PROPOSED to put our older 914's back into a very strict and expensie / wasteful smog test program.
