Yes, I am still looking for "the one" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Patience is not really my strong suit, but I'm trying to avoid bringing home something I will regret later.
This 76 has been FS for a while now, and it looks to be in pretty good condition. Yes, I prefer yellow. Initially I was trying to steer clear of the '76 since it will need smog here in CA, but maybe it's not really a huge issue? Is it difficult to keep them going in such a way that they'll pass smog and still run reliably? Thanks for all the replies so far, I do appreciate it. |

I live in so cal and own a 75. I would not own a 76, because of the biannual smog inspection. The smog equipment is getting harder and harder to find for the stock engine. When my car required smog way back when it was a pain in the ass to get it to pass. Back then my car was a stock 2.0. A lot of the members have given up on the stock injection and have either switched to something more modern or a whole engine swap. It's nice to have the flexibility to do whatever you want to the car and not have to worry about the inspections. My car now has a stock Euro 3.2 motor.
That car looks like a nice deal though... Up to you if you think you will never want to change it. |
