The bottom line is that CA is getting stricter on smog, cars up to the 90's need to be smogged at Test or Gold Sheild station to perform a 2 or 3-step smog.
You may want to get a 75 or older and do not have to deal with smog.
Exactly... I have personally have enough problems with the smog-nazi so I specifically wanted a pre-smog spider. The '74 and earlier models also have stainless steel bumpers which, IMHO, is a bonus!
