Pinz registration -- which states are IN and which are OUT?

[ChickenPinz]

I''d like to try to build on the group's experiences to know which states are Pinz-friendly, and which are not-so-friendly when it comes to registration. Please add your experiences.

Ones I know:
Arizona -- sounds pretty open to Pinz registration
California -- No Admittance for 1976 and newer, accepting of 1975 and older (CARB rules)
Colorado -- mostly friendly, but a few counties have emissions regs
Iowa -- friendly
Michigan -- friendly
Minnesota -- friendly
Oregon -- friendly
Texas -- friendly

I'm curious about Vermont

It's been a long time since I imported Pinzgauers and sold them but at that time I recall these states also being relatively easy: NC, SC, GA, NY, MT, VT, OH, NV.

CA is a big gamble these days. The older the better is all I can say about that nightmare of a place. What I've gone through there even with a 100% legal truck.... it would take a book to tell the story. Never again.

I did not have a problem in Indiana but it did take them a while to figure out what to call it.

No problem on multiple occasions in Wisconsin.

I don't think 1975 is a safe bet in Ca.. There's always exceptions but in many or probably most cases, they will face issues. Many of the 303s in the US are 1975 and have faced trouble, for example. I know of at least one person who counted on the '75 thing and gave up after a year, having to sell. He could have gone with a Montana tag but didn't for whatever reason.

I spent two years myself getting a 100% Ca. legal Unimog registered in Ca.. The ignorance and lack of inter-agency communication of the gov. employees handling that stuff is jaw-dropping.
