Some states are stricker than others. Check with your state. However, cars titled as a 1973 or older (I believe thats the magic year) would not have to abide by such emissions criteria (there were no emission standards prior to 1973). Some states have different ways to classify custom built cars or "kit cars". Some may use the completion date of the kit. Some may use the engine block original production date or some other criteria.
Some states don't even check emissions at all. Again, check with your state.
However your state does it, they are going to be looking what year the car is titled as and will typically expect it to comply with their emission standards for a car of that year.
