Really?Then please explain how Arizona enacted a law recently that states ANY vehicle over 15 years old that is insured as a "Classic vehicle" is emissions exempt.
Ct.is a sh!thole of a state-nothing good has happened there in 45+ years.The trend continues.

You need to read up on it. Let me help you out a little. AZ has a similar law to SEMA that allows you to register a kit as the year it replicates, in this case 1965. This allows the exemption for emissions to run its course. Now if you do not have SEMA type legislation (as in CT) the vehicles are titled as the year of manufacture. The year of manufacture in these states is usually defined as the year they are first presented for state inspection. That means 2008 if done today.
We successfully passed legislation in CT last year to have "composites" ie kits exempted from emissions testing (ongoing) ... as a consolation to the Federal mandate they shifted and reworded the initial inspection requirements to verify the presence of emissions controls before registering.
It is at the Federal level and the states are going to adopt as it allows, with the higher population densities doing it first.
