I wish it was that easy. I took the car to the best Porsche mechanics (remaining) in San Diego. There are few who can still properly service a 1974 914. After 3 weeks of "tinkering" as time was available, my car emerged from the shop. It was running just fine and easily passed the test. I decided to sell it 6 months later. Alas, I had to have a fresh smog certificate. I figured that wouldn't be a problem. Wrong. The bonehead at the smog shop didn't know a 914 from an old shoe. He did the test incorrectly, failed the car and transmitted the failure to the DMV. I paid $65 for his screw up and still didn't have a good certificate. My car was also now identified as having "failed" the test. I just put it on a carrier and transported to the house in Pocatello. No more money for smog tests. It's stored in the garage until I have the time/inclination to work on it again.

It's likely to end up a charitable donation just to clear the space in the garage. It's a great summer car, but not a good choice after the temperatures drop much below 50 degrees.

I thought you didn’t need a smog cert on anything older than 1975.

Hell, donate it to me.
I’ll park it in fine company right next to the Testarossa, here in a nice garage in a no smog cert state.

I’m serious. You can drive it anytime.
Heck, you can keep your name on the title as a lien-holder if you let me drive it every now and then.

Might cost me all of 30 bucks or so to title and tag it here.
