While this car is exempt from smog checks, if it is/was registered in CA it
most likely had some smog equipment- probably a PCV system. The DMV may
require an inspection to verify that this equipment is installed. When I
re-registered my smog check exempt car in CA quite a few years ago, I was
required to install a PCV setup which had been removed by the previous
owner.
