Actually the '68 bug is probably illegal because it does not and can not meet current emission standards. Yugo, anyone?

But my understanding is that under U.S. law, vehicles need only meet the emission standards in place in the year in which they were built, so that a 68 Beetle is still legal to drive, without any added controls.

Not here in California. Cars over a certain age, if properly maintained, can have "grandfather clauses" applied to them, but in general, modern emissions standards must be applied. So a 1927 Duesenberg (drool!) would be OK as-is, but a 1965 VW Bug would not pass.
