RE: [Chevelle-list] Quiet yesterday

1968 and older are exempt.  It's not the whole state, just the North Star Burough (Fairbanks area), and the entire Anchorage "bowl".  The only thing my Chevelle would need to pass is the emissions sniff part.  Newer cars have to pass safety tests, and all other kinds of crap.  Luckily, my Pontiac Vibe is not required to have it done until 2006, and the Bronco II I just bought had it completed in Jan of this year.    My area is much more strict than California.  If you can actually believe that.  It's just easier for me to have a seasonal permit for the Chevelle, than trying to get a cat installed, or going back to exhaust manifolds vice my headers.  Basically if the car isn't stock, it won't pass.  And since I just dropped a new motor in it last year, the sniffer is really strict.  I have to be down to the same level of emmisions as a 2003 model car.  We all know that won't happen!  ;-)  Besides, like I said, I won't drive it in the snow anyway, and the seasonal is good from 31 MAR through 31 NOV.  The snow starts flying here around the middle of October, and break-up is around mid April, so I'm pretty much covered for the time I'd actually drive it.      Kerry A.

They don't grandfather the Emissions Regulations for antique vehicles in Alaska? What sort of restrictions are imposed on you? As I've never heard of that before, I was kind of curious.   Scott Jackson ' 69 Chevelle Malibu SS 396 T.C. # 2172
