Emissions - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I heard, in Ontario laws are coming. Bad laws about emissions
and Vintage/Hot Rodded cars needing to meet criteria. Like age
of engine and what emissions that engine should have had. Stockers
will be fine but what about custom engine builds and such.
For some strange reason I feel a need to cut down a tree!

In Texas you can register your 25+ or 30+ year old vehicle as an "antique vehicle" and it no longer requires inspection (or so I understand). Of course...your only supposed to use it for parades, shows, public events, etc....and not as a daily driver.

In california you're free and clear if the vehicle is over 25 years old. Although you do have to smog if you change ownership.

I figure I make up for every Prius on Hwy 85 the days I drive my 65 :-)

Same dog and pony show here in the Denver area of Colorado. When I bought my 65 I had to get it emmissions checked. IMHO it is a scam. My truck didn't pass so they said I had to get it "tuned up" and then show them the receipt. I bought synthetic oil, a oil filter and new set of spark plugs, installed them, went back the same day, and it passed.

I think it is a money generating scam for the local businesses and the local government.

Russ65C10,
You had to have your truck smog checked? Is the law different by county?
I've bought and sold many pre '72 trucks in the past 4 years, and have never had to have any of them smogged.
