RE: California smog check exemption of pre-'73 vehicles

["Shubin, Pete" <PShubin@domain.elided>]

What website?  I am preparing my '72 Scout II for the smog 
free registration starting in 1998 and I need to check on some 
information.  My registration is not a renewal.  The Scout has 
not been registered for over six years, but was a California 
registered 49 state truck.  I know its record is clean but I 
expect I will have to smog it because of the Transfer of 
Title.  Anyone know for sure?

	Hi all,

	Guess I get the prize for gun-jumping. My '72 Scout II is due
for
	registration in February. After reading the discussion about
	exempting pre-'73 vehicles from Califonria's Smog Check program
	and checking both the forms and the smogcheck website
	I blithely mailed in my renewal about December first. DMV
responded
	with a demand for a smog certificate. 

	A _very_ close reading of the website, followed by a call to
DMV,
	revealed that I should have waited till January 2, then sent in 
	the renewal. 

	At this point I have a Notice of Incomplete Renewal, does
anybody
	know of a way out? I asked if I could back out the renewal
request
	and was told, in a weasely way, no. 

	Thanks for reading!
