Is it true that if you own a vehicle in California that is 25 years or older that you don't have to have it smogged? If true then having a 1978 Clipper means that I don't need to worry about it,...Right? If anyone knows what the true answer to this questions is please let me know. Thank You!

30 years.  In your case 2008, if it's scheduled for an even year.  1973 and older is exempt from biannual checks.

I'd like to add as a foot note to my previous reply that any and all questions regarding CA. emissions laws will be answered by the B.A.R. (Bureau of Automotive Repair).  They are located in most major cities and believe it or not, they are actually helpful and try to solve your problems.  They can be useful if you think you're getting a bum rap on your smog check.  There are plenty of lousy mechanics out there.

Horst:
   Are you sure about that? I have been informed by other members of the forum that your vehicle has to be 30 years or older to be smog exempt. I hope your right because it is a pain in you know where to get vehicles smogged these days. Where did you get your facts from so I can comfirm your information or did you just assume that it was exempt beginning in the year 2004? I'm hoping that your right.
                Thanks,
                 Ron

   Disreguard that last post of mine. I mis read your post. Sorry about that. I thought it said 1978 were exempt from smog, not 1975. My mistake!
