Letter from manufacturer that car meets emissions standards. Which we requested with GM.

Here is the vin..
I went through the same bs with the 67 I purchased from Georgia, since its not a hybrid or electric car coming in the state does not want it and will make it as difficult as possible for you to register it. What I did was hire a registration service after CHP told me that "they think the frame is not original to the truck" after the DMV sent me there for a 2nd vin check. 110$ later and it was registered. Save yourself the headache and just hire a registration service if you can, it sounds like you're pretty deep trying to get this done from which I was told makes it worse. CHP appointments at least where I live have a 2+ month wait time.

Also as far as the smog goes, even if your truck is 1975 or older, you MUST have all the smog equipment it originally came with. It is a federal offence to remove it even if your area does not require emissions testing, if you get pulled over by a cop he can send you to a referee to verify emissions components. Now granted the odds of somebody getting checked for this is slim to none but you never know....especially in this state. Good luck you can pm me if you want if you have any questions.
