Emissions sticker, 1971

[Matt L]

Ca dmv/chp is saying my dad needs an emissions sticker to register is.  CHP says if we can just send them a picture with the correct year (1971), they'll process is.   Any help is appreciated.  He's near Auburn, is the 510 keeper still around?

Sorry, registered as a 1971 but manufactured in 1970.

I don't see anything on anyone's pictures of these other than the federal safety standards vin plate on the driver door threshold.

1971 should be no emissions required. 1975 is the cutoff. Why is CA DMV asking for a sticker? 

But download this picture and send it to them... Good luck

Related – years ago when I was running the VG30DE (so, 1998 or so)  I took Red to the Oregon DEQ station because at the time I was concerned about exceeding the noise limit. They decided while they were at it they’d measure tailpipe emissions.  With no cats and no EGR it was still far cleaner than allowable limits, in some areas is was 1/10^th the limit, lol.

Wondering why CHP is involved at all? Purchased out of state or? I have never been asked for such info registering multiple 510s in CA over the years, most recent was 2019. Might be worth joining AAA if he's not a member and register it through them. Or try another DMV office.

Yeah, has been registered in utah for the last 15 years. Before that we had it in Cal. They moved back to ca.  Dmv said it needed a Vin check at chp.

Great idea with AAA. I'll check into that.
