You will need to put catalytic converters on them - I bet.
They have done something similar in Germany with a
very expensive road tax if you dont install a cat on your
oldtimer. I think there's some excempt for really old cars.
In Sweden we drive oldtimers (+30 years) without paying
road tax (we pay energy tax on petrol which makes the
price to US$ 4.50/US gallon) but nobody say's anything
about emissions as long as it's below 4.5% CO on idle
during the car inspection.
