The California SB100 emissions exemption/certification is good for a car in California. But as I understand it, this exemption may pose a problem if you want to sell the car to another state. For example, a Replica 65 Cobra can be built in say 2010 and qualify for the CA exemption...the "Year" of the car is irrelevant..so it can be titled/registered as a 2010 and still claim the exemption. If later the owner wants to sell in CA, no problem, the exemption follows the car in-state. However, if the buyer is in another state, the 2010 model designation on the papers can pose a real problem. That's why those of us in other states try to get an older model year on the title/registration...so we can avoid emissions testing etc as required for newer cars. So CA SB100 can work against an out-of-state buyer because (using the example) the CA car has 2010 papers which upon presentation to the authorities in the other state can wreck your chances to avoid emissions requirements. I'm not sure what the "answer" is in this situation. If someone has experience with this, please share. I'm particularly interested in a SB100 California car being sold into Georgia...but any advice will do!
