By California standards anything 1976 or newer will be subject to 
biennial smog checks no matter what unless you live in a rural area 
that's smog-on-change-of-ownership-only.

1975 and earlier models are exempt from periodic smog testing, which in 
my book for California purposes makes the 1975-and-earlier examples of 
any particular vehicle worth infinitely more than basically identical 
later ones, even if the later vehicle was of a better spec when built 
(e.g. E12 BMW 5er, VW Rabbit, etc.)
