The person you talked to is a freeking idiot government moron that our tax dollars are being wasted on. He/she should get the hell off the planet. I have no patience for government folks that are stupid.
Here's how it works (non-SB100): Your car is registered under the SPCN rules as a 2004, which means it has to be smogged because it is made after 1976/younger than 30 years old. The next issue is to what smog levels...that is determined by the year of the motor...in your example, 1964. It is required to have the smog gear that it used in 1964, and pass the smog test for 1964.
Now, say a few years from now, you decide you don't even want to mess with going to a smog station every two years...go stand in line on January 2 and get one of those 500 spots and use SB1578 which makes SB100 usable for previously registered SPCNs. BTW, you aren't re-originally registering it, so you're not going to pay taxes when you do this...just some fees.
Take a large cal. gun and go shoot that lamebrain. Tell them you're from the post office...maybe life in prison, but no execution.
BTW, Meat has assplained this a zillion times in the past...but nobody pays attention to him, because he's Meat. Hmmm....just thought of something... Hey Meat, mad cow?
