Yes!!!!!!!!
....for now....techinically they can still roll back the
smog test law all the way to 68 if they please, so anything
newer has a .ooooooo1percent chance of ever having to be
smogged.

had to smog anything prior to '68, I've brought in
cars/motorcycles from all over teh country of all ages.

even asked for insurance proof! the supervisor we had to

up to snuff a minute ago, and smiled and said "all is just
fine!" give him his tags!
