No one in Washington state should have to do an emisions test on their replica because Washington allows cars of this type to be registered as the year they replicate, not the year they were built. The opperative word here is REPLICA, if you even mention the word KIT, you are in trouble.
There have been many posts on this site about how to get registered as a 65 or 66. The thread started by Ron Going is probably the best. If your car has already been registered as the year it was built, ie '98,'05, or whatever, then you have a bit more of a challenge, but it's not impossible. The original owner, builder of my car made the mistake of saying the car was a kit when he went to register it in '92 after he finished the build and so it was registered as such. By doing some research and being persistant he was able to re-register the car in '06 as a 1966 Cobra replica and got collector plates as well.
Unfortunatly he never got to enjoy this because I bought the car from him shortly thereafter.
Do you research and get your car registered as the law allows here in Washington. In this case you have the law on your side because the law must be applied equally to all.
To have to suffer the idignity of an emisions test on our cars is ridiculous especially when I see all these "smokers" driving around because they live in a zip code where testing is not required.
