Any idea where in California? Just heard of a guy in my town buying a 76 from out of state. In most California counties, if not all, 1976 MY cars have to be tested, and must have all emissions related equipment in working order, and it has to pass the tail pipe test. Cars registered in "enhanced testing areas" must be tested on a dyno, otherwise they get the 2 speed idle test.. There is an exemption for parts NLA, either new or used, but all that stuff is available from smog parts brokers, so that's out. There are some "hardship" waivers, but they're for 12 months (IIRC), and are one-time-only. They involve spending to a certain level and retesting, but there's a catch. If the magic number is $400, and the job involves a top-end overhaul, you still have to do the overhaul. MY is the MY, NOT the production date. The clerks have heard every story you could ever imagine, but the answer's always the same: "No dice, pal." The Cap'n |
