Actually the waiting Period for the disputed title is only 3 years now. You get issued a temporary title for those 3 years. I went through that crap with another '67 Ranchero i had. Kinda a PITA and it makes it hard to sell as well. I just finally registered my 78 Mustang because it became emissions exempt this year. I've had the car since '98.

If I remember the Emissions requirements they are for all passenger vehicles from '68-'73 as follows:

220 HC
3.0 CO
and < 14.2 (for whatever that reading was)

I had a '72 Maverick I drove for a short time that I had to deal with the emissions crapola. I think WA state started doing the emissions checks in about '92. They never opened the hood of the car for ANY equipmet checks. Only vehicles subject to these checks were vehicles 5 years old or newer as long as they pass the sniffer standards. At least that's the way it was in Clark county. To my knowlege the only counties in WA that have to test are King, Pierce, Thurston, Clark and Spokane counties. I know when it all started it was just King and Clark. The only reason why we have to test here in Clarl is because of that cesspool City of Portland...... just pisses me off.....

Everything in the state of Washington has both, a title and registration paperwork.

As far as the State of Wahshington is concerned, it doesn't have to be specific on the type of car it actually is on stuff this old. But in the latter years it's a big deal because they tax you on a truck's tonnage. They even taxed me on my Ranchero...can you believe that??? It's considered a 1/4 ton truck... how lame...
