TX '90 ZR1 · 01-15-2018

I concur with Marty on this.
I was in the auto business in SoCal during this time. Actually was when I had a new one ('90 ZR-1).
The charge on the invoice was for testing to CA/MA standards. Your underhood decal also stated CA or MA.
The federal (other states) simply said federal standards.
If you brought a "Federal" car into CA you had the pleasure of paying the state of CA a $300.00 "smog fee". Also, could not bring in a brand new one. Had to have some miles. 7500 miles if I recall correctly.
The "smog fee" was later declared against state law and the state had to re-imburse buyers if they could prove they had paid it.
Oh, the days of trying to work with the California DMV. Freaking, non-ending nightmare !!
