Doug is correct on the six counties that don't have biennial testing. Good if you have a solid address in one of them.
However, 1975 and earlier vehicles aren't required to have biennial inspections nor a test on transfer. Used to be a 25 year moving window, but they fixed that window at the 1975 model year in the 1990's. If by chance it required testing in 1999, they probably would have to do another test in 2001, but none needed after that since it reached it's 25 year limit in 2000.
Now if, it was brought into state and hadn't been currently registered, they might have been required to do a test, but after that no. Now in the fine print, you aren't allowed to modify or remove any smog equipment that was on the car. In reality, everyone does because they no longer are required to be tested.

While the last recorded emission test in the VID is 2003 – there ARE county’s and ZIP codes which DO NOT require biennial smog test once the first one is done.
Per DMV - - -
There are six counties [in Kalifornia] that require smog certifications within certain Zip Codes only. These counties are:
El Dorado, Placer, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, and Sonoma.
This fellow had work done by a San Diego shop – most likely he lives in a non-smog county ZIP. So as far as being legally “smoged” he may well be.

Warning –
First, in Kalifornia the SELLER is responsible for providing the buyer with a passing smog certificate.
Second – this car hasn’t had a smog test since 2003. https://www.smogcheck.ca.gov/pubwebquery/Vehicle/PubTstQry.aspx and put in the plate ID.
Anyhow, this car would NOT pass a current smog check with the K&N filters. No pre-heat available. (as if that really matters)
Third – Witness the 2002 license plate sticker color is green as well as 2017 so the car has a correct green under orange 2018 sticker combo. But is the green sticker on THIS car really a 2017? http://www.andrewturnbull.net/plates/sticker.html
Even if your state doesn’t require an inspection – with this bit of hokey sticker playing – what else is wrong with the car? https://www.mytime.com/guide/Smog-Check/Articles/find-out-your-states-smog-check-requirements-with-this-quick-and-easy-reference-guide
Interesting color combination.
Cheers

Really. I’d gladly blow my budget on a 308gt4 Dino. Unfortunately until this bubble bursts I can’t afford it.
Closest in concept was a lotus Elise. Can get a 2005 or an ASPT for $20k but concerned about the a/c and daily driver reliability plus my 50 year old back and being invisible in traffic. Oh and the wife hate hate hates it. Convinced I’ll get crushed by a suv.
