Importing a smog era classic into California

Why don't you tell us what kind of car it is so we could tell you the info needed. But regardless of the car the vehicle would have to be verified (usually which means taking the car to DMV for them to look at) like was said earlier which means they are going to check location of VIN# on car and where the vin is located and a few more things to verify with the title. Go to DMV and get the vehicle verifying paperwork and you will see what is needed to be done. Along with all the smog equiptment unless you know someone that verify cars and does smogs. ssshhhhhhhhh whispering. GL
