wellll here in phoenix, you have to smog test a car 1967 or newer. also newer cars (i think if its under 5 years old) you dont have to smog test at all.

but here in arizona there are only a few counties that have smog rules. (major cities)

you have to smog your car even if its registered as historic.

you only have to smog every 2 years. and smog goes with each new owner without having to retest until the 2 years is up.

ANY car in Arizona 15 years old or older that is insured under a "Classic Car policy"is emissions testing exempt.ALL motorcycles in the state DO NOT have to be tested unless you are in Maricopa County

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat

so all your saying is i can get classic car insurance and my car wont have to be smogged?

no one ever told me of this and im pretty sure i didnt see that on adot's website. or i over looked it.

if i can get classic insurance and it not cost a arm and a leg, ill be extremely happy about this.

Yes.HOWEVER......Classic car policies have mileage restrictions & other limitations.And if you wreck it on your way to work-you're screwed.

And you will still have an issue with the car that needs addressing.

ah. well id still be screwed if i got in a wreck having liability only.

they will just total the car and pay me some BS price like 500 bucks. and say thats what it was worth.

as far as the other stuff. im sure my anual miles are to high and im sure the car doesnt look pretty enough.

My 1/71 is insured by Hagarty here in Phoenix, no mileage restrictions, but just usage restrictions, ie., can't drive it to work, ( no worries as I am retired), or use it as one would a daily driver for shopping, etc, which would leave it in an untended situation. I can use it for personal pleasure, club events, and the like. To get this type of insurance, one must have a second car to use as a daily driver.

Indiana, none at all.

Actually I believe that Lake and Porter counties do have mandatory emissions testing. I don't recall the details, but think it was every 5 years.

There was a member of this forum at one time from Northern Indiana.

In California, 1976 and newer vehicles are required to have smog check inspections for registration renewals, change of ownership transactions and initial registration.

California also has smog exempt counties (at least for now). Most of these counties are north of San Francisco: parts of Sonoma, Mendocino, Lake Humbolt, Siskyu, Del Norte, etc.

I have a 76 280z and I don't have to have a bi-annual smog test. I just send in my yearly fee and proof of insurance. My Z is registered in Mendocino county.

As sblake mentioned, I would have to have it smogged if I wanted to sell it.

I guess I was being a little Indianapolis-centric.
