Legal Pinzgauers for California?
Legal Pinzgauers for California?
If I could only search the archive right now I would not be asking this question. What year are Pinzgauers legal for import into CA regarding smoggin in California. Is it 74 and below or 75 and bellow? I already own a 1973 712M and am currently in the market for a 710K. If there is anyone in California or elsewhere with this information please advise!
Thanks

Thanks Jim,
That is what I thought but I am getting conflicting info. The DMV website says 1975 and older. http://www.dmv.ca.gov/vr/smogfaq.htm#BM2536 . Yet the local smog inspection place said 1974 and older. This is confusing.

I found some more info that says 75 and older is cool in CA. I’m picking out a vehicle tomorrow so any info that contradicts what I am saying let me know.
Thanks

The Pinz is considered a "gray market vehicle" and 74 is the newest gray market vehicle allowed in Ca, 75 and older applies to all normal imports(Honda , Toyota, etc.........
If it is already titled in Ca you will be ok, but if you are bringing it into Ca and it is newer than 74, they may refuse to title it for on road use, or charge a $500 smog impact fee
Hope that helps
