Ok, let me have all the pros and cons of a 76. I have a chance to pick one up for a pretty good price. Nepal orange with a lot of new extras not installed yet. my biggest question is SMOG. can some expand on that issue for this year. It is a 2.0. Thanks everybody.

Check it out. If good, buy it. Sell to someone on the east coast. They'll be muy feliz.
Nepal rocks... |

76 is not smog exempt in California and its a major pain to get a 76 to pass smog since the smog components are so old and hard to find.

Depends on how its equipped (original?) and who you know. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

If it passes smog, sellers responsibility, you can start collecting parts to keep it going! But, if it is a "as is" sale, no smog, I would pass unless you want to deal with it every two years!

If it's really nice, make your offer conditional that it passes smog on the sellers nickel. I have a '75 which required smog testing up until several years ago. It would only pass smog test if I had a knowledgeable porsche mechanic make a couple of short term adjustments to the AFM. It helped that he was a smog test station as well, so we would do a pre-test, adjust the AFM, run the DMV test, then readjust the AFM back to optimal settings. What a headache !

As I understand the smog laws, it is the seller’s responsibility, the end.
I do not believe a verbal contract that the buyer will take care of it holds up here either. The way the smog laws are written I wouldn’t count on a written contract protecting a seller either. |

My stock 76 passes CA. smog no problem. I put on a new aftermarket CAT the day before test, then switch it back. Retard timing a bit to reduce NOX, new plugs, proper valve lash. The air pump and EGR don't do squat, just make sure it is present to pass visual.
