Hi Glen,
Not that I am an expert with this, but I recently did a little
checking on this myself. My understanding is that it is not a problem
with older cars (more 5 years old). It's the new ones that DMV
watches for as they don't want new cars being brought in from out of
the country. I can't imagine that SMOG is an issue either for any
pre-'73 vehicles. I'd check the DMV.CA.GOV web site for add'l info.
