Cowfy, Stefano is referring to the fact that in CA and I imagine most all other states a vehicle not only has to pass the emissions tests, but they check to see if all of the original 'smog' equipment is in place. In CA's case, this applies to '76 and later vehicles. The TS is especially tricky since they were never imported here, so Stefano has to retrofit all of the equipment that wasn't on the engine (etc.) in the first place.
My Alfetta GT is a '75, so I'm pretty much free to do what I want - short of turning it into a gross polluter. CA has sniffer's/cameras placed at strategic places to catch those vehicles.
