For vehicles with an exemption, a smog test referee compares the vehicle to production cars of the era that the specially constructed vehicle most closely resembles to determine the model year. The vehicle owner can then choose whether the inspector will certify the vehicle model year by body type or by the engine model year.

Seem's to me the there was some change to the year of engine aspect to this.
The basic problem with ANY of these laws are the various Government agencies not always agreeing or knowing what the right hand or the left hand is doing. DMV says one thing, BAR says another, the rules are open to interpretation of other rules impacting the new rules and then nobody know who rules!  |
For vehicles with an exemption this means SB100, and one can choose Model Year or Engine Year with SB100. Either way, the article is current from SEMA. My only comments are that it is a shame that SEMA failed to get their "standard" legislature passed in CA, as they have done in many other states, and that the only non-SB100 solution that they negotiated is GM only based. Let's hope there are enough SB100 numbers for all of the Cobra Replica owners who are running Ford motors.
