1976 Is it a 49 state or Cali car? Options

[gnomefabtech]

Car came from Nevada but I can't tell if it was originally a California car. It still has injection but doesn't have a cat or smog pump. Doesn't look like it ever had either but I'm wondering since I'm going to try and register it here in California. Thanks in advance!!

Here is the Vin:

re vin stickers and manufacturer's plates.

@JeffBowlsby .
you guys have picked up this?
76s have no manufacturer's plate.

75 models with man. plate shifted to bulkhead location from earlier spot on headlight bucket.




76 models. no manufacturers plate?





makes sense.
rest of the world required the manufacturer's plate and used that for registration purposes.
only USA ignored the manufacturer's plate and went off the DOT mandated VIN sticker.
if you only build cars for the USA market exclusively for the last half of 75 then you would only put the VIN sticker on and delete the man. plate.
