This was posted on a 356 list thought the CA crowd might be interested:

Several years ago, when the California Legislature was in more reasonable
hands, they passed a law that saved 912's from Extinction by exempting from
the Smog Tests any car made in 1973 or earlier.

This was to be an ongoing "30 year and out rule", starting in 2003- any
car 30 years old or older was going to be EXEMPT from smog tests due to the
difficuties of getting parts, knowledgeable service, etc.

Now that ever major elected office is held by Democrats, one (Mr Flores)
has taken it upon himself to UN-Exempt these cars! Replacing the "30 year
and out" rule with "45 years and out", starting in 2005
