Corvette C7 - Ship to CA/Emissions Regulation
I have been looking at purchasing a C7 located at a dealer in Indiana and wanted to ship to my home in California.
I know the topic of the CA emissions has been discussed here before (and I have read through several helpful threads on this topic), but wanted to get some additional feedback if the attached emission sticker shown below would be considered acceptable. It appears to be slightly different on this 2017 sticker when compared to other model years (2016, 2015, etc) that I have seen. Any help and piece of mind before I make the purchase would be appreciated, Thank You. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...55494cedf8.jpg |
The California class indicates it is CA compliant. You may still have to have it tested though (bureaucratic inertia).

Looks good to me! When you get it inspected at the dmv they’ll wanna see that sticker. Get it smogged first, then go to the dmv for the inspection, paperwork and fees due. They gave me my plates on the spot, I don’t know if they do that everywhere though.

Easiest to go through a dealer.. It will pass.
|
The sticker you show is this on the car you want to buy? Look at all the overspray around it? That panel was repainted?

Cal Emissions
That is the same sticker that is on my 2017 GS. But I have heard from several people that it might take 1500 miles or so before it will pass the emissions test which you will need to get since it is an out of state car.

Thank you everyone for the prompt feedback and information!
Additionally, @ Corvette ED, the panel should not have been repainted. It's on a 2017 car that is being sold as new (only 6 miles on the odometer). |
Yeah, that’s just how the under side of the hood looks.

You will need a cali smog, then you need to have the vin number verified either by dmv or if you are a AAA member they will do it for you.. AAA is usually much faster than dmv at this.
Then go to dmv. You must have the MSO paperwork, smog, vin verification and of course lots of cash. MSO is the manufacturers statement of origin. |

I thought the issue was without the requisite number of miles, when plugged in, it will indicate "not ready for testing," but after some mileage, all C7s will pass, as they are 50-state compliant.
Many other CA folks have reported here, that even on a new car not ready for testing, all you have to do is call the CARB, make an appointment, and they will give you a waiver from testing allowing you to register the car. Supposedly, it only takes 15 minutes once at the CARB office. |
