Smog inspections are required unless your vehicle is: Hybrid 1975 year model or older Diesel powered Electric Natural gas powered and has a Gross Vehicle Weight rating of 14,001 lbs. or more. Motorcycle Trailer Parts Locator Service Fact Sheet California?s Smog Check Program Most California vehicles (1976 and newer) must pass Smog Check inspections every other year in order to renew registration in the state. The Smog Check inspection includes: a visual inspection to verify that all required emission systems are present; a functional inspection to verify that specific emission control systems are functioning; and a tailpipe inspection to verify that the vehicle?s exhaust emissions are within established standards. Repair of Emission Control Systems As part of the Smog Check Program, all vehicles with missing, modified, or disconnected emission control systems must be repaired. In some cases, the required part(s) can be difficult to find. The Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) suggests that motorists first check with their new car dealer, local auto parts stores, and automotive recyclers to find the needed parts. However, if the parts are not available locally, BAR helps motorists find them. Emission Parts Locator Service BAR contracts with the California Youth Authority (CYA) Free Venture Program to provide a toll-free, statewide telephone Emission Parts Locator Service. The program's employees help motorists locate those hard-to-find emission control parts they need to bring their vehicles into compliance. How Does the Parts Locator Service Work? A telephone agent provides each caller with the names and telephone numbers of three or more suppliers that may have the required part (s). The motorist then contacts the suppliers, and may purchase the part(s) from the supplier of their choice. However, if part(s) are not available, the motorist must call and advise the Parts Locator. The Parts Locator then issues a "Limited Parts Exemption," which is mailed to the motorist. The motorist must then make an appointment at one of BAR's 34 Consumer Assistance and Referee Centers where the vehicle will undergo a Smog Check inspection. The vehicle must pass all other aspects of the inspection before the Referee can issue a Smog Check certificate. Poor emissions levels, improperly functioning parts, or missing parts may be taken into consideration during the Smog Check inspection. If the parts are not available at the time of the vehicle's next Smog Check, the motorist must again obtain a "Limited Parts Exemption," and the vehicle will again need to be inspected at a Referee Center. When required parts become available, they must be installed. Other Services The Emission Parts Locator Service also provides general information about Smog Check and related programs, aftermarket parts that have been approved by the California Air Resources Board, and refers motorists to other agencies for help when appropriate. Motorist Convenience The Parts Locator Service helps approximately 19,000 motorists annually. Without it, many motorists would not be able to repair their vehicles and complete the vehicle registration process with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Who Should I Call? Call the Parts Locator Service toll-free at 1-800-826-3566.

Smith Depts. of Psychology and Otolaryngology Center for Smell and Taste Center for Hearing Research _____ From: checker-bounces at textfiles.com [mailto:checker-bounces at textfiles.com] On Behalf Of Thomas McIntyre Sent: Wednesday, April 11, 2007 1:34 PM To: Checker Mailing List Subject: Re: [Checker-l] moving Checker to CA...issues http://www.dmv.ca.gov/pubs/vctop/d12/vc27156.htm also, Does my vehicle qualify for a smog exemption? Smog inspections are required unless your vehicle is: * Hybrid * 1975 year model or older * Diesel powered * Electric * Natural gas powered and has a Gross Vehicle Weight rating of 14,001 lbs. or more. * Motorcycle * Trailer Parts Locator Service Fact Sheet California's Smog Check Program Most California vehicles (1976 and newer) must pass Smog Check inspections every other year in order to renew registration in the state. The Smog Check inspection includes: a visual inspection to verify that all required emission systems are present; a functional inspection to verify that specific emission control systems are functioning; and a tailpipe inspection to verify that the vehicle's exhaust emissions are within established standards. Repair of Emission Control Systems As part of the Smog Check Program, all vehicles with missing, modified, or disconnected emission control systems must be repaired. In some cases, the required part(s) can be difficult to find. The Bureau of Automotive Repair (BAR) suggests that motorists first check with their new car dealer, local auto parts stores, and automotive recyclers to find the needed parts. However, if the parts are not available locally, BAR helps motorists find them. Emission Parts Locator Service BAR contracts with the California Youth Authority (CYA) Free Venture Program to provide a toll-free, statewide telephone Emission Parts Locator Service. The program's employees help motorists locate those hard-to-find emission control parts they need to bring their vehicles into compliance. How Does the Parts Locator Service Work? A telephone agent provides each caller with the names and telephone numbers of three or more suppliers that may have the required part(s). The motorist then contacts the suppliers, and may purchase the part(s) from the supplier of their choice. However, if part(s) are not available, the motorist must call and advise the Parts Locator. The Parts Locator then issues a "Limited Parts Exemption," which is mailed to the motorist. The motorist must then make an appointment at one of BAR's 34 Consumer Assistance and Referee Centers where the vehicle will undergo a Smog Check inspection. The vehicle must pass all other aspects of the inspection before the Referee can issue a Smog Check certificate. Poor emissions levels, improperly functioning parts, or missing parts may be taken into consideration during the Smog Check inspection. If the parts are not available at the time of the vehicle's next Smog Check, the motorist must again obtain a "Limited Parts Exemption," and the vehicle will again need to be inspected at a Referee Center. When required parts become available, they must be installed. Other Services The Emission Parts Locator Service also provides general information about Smog Check and related programs, aftermarket parts that have been approved by the California Air Resources Board, and refers motorists to other agencies for help when appropriate. Motorist Convenience The Parts Locator Service helps approximately 19,000 motorists annually. Without it, many motorists would not be able to repair their vehicles and complete the vehicle registration process with the Department of Motor Vehicles. Who Should I Call? Call the Parts Locator Service toll-free at 1-800-826-3566.

No, I did not drive one of my Checkers - they are not running - but I did see two Checkers, here at the Dallas Guitar Show. ( www.guitarshow.com ) One of them was a late `70s Marathon, red with a white roof and red interior. It had a wierd dent in the roof and other body damage, but the interior looked pretty good, including jump seats. The other Checker was yellow and looked very good from a distance, but I didn`t get to look at it closely - but i will try to track it down for a closer view. I just think its great to find a couple of kindred spirits here 1700 miles from home. Last year here I found a Purple Checker !

I'm sure many pundits said the same thing about Checker in 1958. I want one but I'm not ponying up the $500 to get on the waiting list. I don't buy any "first year" cars. Give them a couple of years to get the bugs out. If they offer optional hand controls for wheelchair-bound drivers, civilian sales should really take off. I know several folks who would buy them.

I have thought about getting a CNG Honda so I could have the filling device installed, then converting a Checker to CNG. It might work well around town, certainly cheaper than gasoline, once you pay off the ($2,500?) filling device. On Apr 27, 2007, at 6:48 am, Paul Worth wrote: > The Standard Taxi is quite viable.

I saw a total rust bucket that wouldn't even run unless you poured gas down the carb bring $3,500 a couple of years ago and I doubt if you could have gotten $500 in parts off of it. John W.
