No more emissions testing!

[Goose17]

I needed to get my 93 Cobra inspected today. It hadn’t been run in a couple/few months. After a battery charge, it fired right up without any issues. I drove it to my favorite inspection station (they let me drive my cars) and was happy to learn that the car is no longer required to be run on the rollers with the tailpipe sniffer! I wasn’t sure if it was this year or next, but the car is officially 25 years old and exempt from emissions testing. All it needed was a safety inspection: brakes, lights, blinkers, horn, etc. and all was well!

Running it on the rollers is a pain... you have to keep RPMs near constant in different ranges while the computer analyzes the exhaust. Cars with OBD ports don’t have to do the rollers/sniffing thing, just the older stuff until it is 25 years from date of manufacture.

Ya, in Missouri anything 1995 or earlier is exempt. This happened several years back, though I can't recall exactly when.

In my part of Indiana we don't have to face the emissions testing, but in northern Indiana around Chicago they have to have it done.

Same here, no smog nazis in my neck of the woods. Yet another perk of living in the sticks!

In my neck of the woods, cars registered as collectible or classic/historic that are driven less than 2000 miles a year have been exempt from emissions testing for years.

Out here, classic insurance means no emissions, and AZ doesn't do inspections. I haven't had to go through emissions in a decade.
