California SB100 Emissions Exemption - Sale to Another State

[King- cobra]

Bill is right, if you bring a car in with a 2010 Ca title Georgia with consider it a 2010 and the emission rules for that county apply. There have been problems with someone having a SP car in one county tagged as a 2005 and they move to a county with emsions requirments and they can not get the car registered in the new county even though it has been registered in Georgia before. You have to be carefull when bringing in out of state cars with new titles

We have a conflict of approaches. California has allowed an emissions exemption in exchange for "being honest" about the Year of Manufacture (i.e. a 65 Replica is not really manufactured in 65 so lets not title it as such). Other states have their own complicated and arguably antiquated regs and procedures which tend to turn a bit of a blind eye to the "Year of Manufacture" which is used to then declare the car "old" enough not to have to satisfy emissions requirements. When a car involves both of these regimes (moving from one state to another(...buyer beware.

Not old and antiquated. Actually modern and up to date. Last year, Wa. state adopted the SEMA bill into law that allows any car to be titled as the year it replicates. If more states, like Ca., Ga. and Ma. would pull their head out of their azz, there wouldn't be a problem.

You're right...poor choice of words on my part. My state senator lives in the neighborhood and I think I'll have a talk with him. Quit with all the nonsense and integrate the state law into what other industry-friendly states are doing. To not do so can mean loss of tax revenue from businesses that cater to the industry, etc.
