In California, there are special standards for emissions
and equipment on cars originally sold in California.
Vehicles originally sold in other states have different
standards. Emissions Inspection stations connected
to the California DMV know which standards to apply.

Is California one of those states?

And a car that was already 50 state legal would have the California
legal package.
Do the math. The U.S. has 50 states
If a car is 50 state legal then what state isn't it legal in?
Now if it's a 49 state car (which is what the OP probably was asking)
then it meets the standards of all the states EXCEPT California.

OK, My bad. it's a 49 state car (82 porsche 911) and the guy is trying to
sell it to my next door neighbor who's hot to trot. I told him for the price
and what it needs, he's crazy to drop the cash for the thing (which needs
windshield, steering wheel, synchros, a bit of rust(!) paint- not to mention
that it's an oregon car and failed the first try at smogging- those are the
knowns). All for 12 k U$. The neighbor thinks he's getting a daily driver
and selling a perfectly fine iinfiniti to finance the beast. Perhaps I
should keep my BIG mouth shut (take up US history to find how many states
there are!) and wait for the comedy to follow- my neighbor doesn't know
which end of a phillips head screwdriver to use. Pat

I've seen '80s 911's that had good paint, good glass, and didn't seem
beat up for just under 20 grand. Paying 12 for a beater seems really
stupid.... especially with how fast the repair costs will tally up.

Well I hope he likes getting stuck. Maybe tell him it will be legal when
he becomes Governor? Or he could wait until 2012 when it will be a
classic and exempt from the smog laws.
