Oppo discount applies, life isn’t letting me procrastinate on selling this anymore. Shame, but someone (hopefully worthy) will get a great potential project.

This will likely be the first car I sell that I’ll be truly sad about. I wonder if on a very hot day you can still smell my puke from eating too much homemade ice cream in 1998. Don’t judge.

that looks like a solid ride for the money! I hope it goes to a good home. don’t let people talk you down on price.

Curious - does your state not do emissions inspections? Is that why you’re able to delete the cat?

You’re doing it wrong. You’re supposed to ask for his bank account and SS numbers to make sure the transaction clears since you’re out of the country.

KY has nothing like that. headlights tail lights and a windshield with wipers, valid VIN is about all you need to pass the cursory glance by a local sheriff.

:( I still miss my 9C1.

It’s made worse by me knowing the guy I sold it to and seeing its condition worsen.

I’m surprised the federal government hasn’t required a regular emissions inspection by states. Just that by itself would take way more polluting cars off the road than strict new car standards. In fact it seems pointless to even have standards. You can just rip off the emissions stuff after driving off the lot since its never inspected again lol!

technically, the EPA could charge individuals, but the PR hit and waste of resources prevent it from being a real concern.

Damn, I wish I could buy this. A bit too out of reach for me right now.

I just went and looked at your ad again. Are you really willing to sell it for $2k? That I can afford.

Where is the oil leak coming from?

Valve covers most likely, doubt it’s the Cam seal I replaced as I’d expect opti issues, but possible.

financial emergency thwarted for now, so put it back at re assessed market value, 4k. $3500 to the right buyer

Gotcha. $3500 is actually what I have to play with (if I can convince my wife to actually let me spend it, which is no gimme).

I just realized since this is a ‘96, I’d have to get it through an emissions test. Do you have the stuff to put the air pump back on? If it was OBD1 it wouldn’t matter, but they test OBD2 vehicles in my area every two years.

The B-Body airpump actually was exempted since in the end it doesnt really do much, there’s info and stickers for it out there. on the other hand, the catalytic converters are long gone, which would be issue #1 i think.

Good to know. The cats are more important, but its easy to get a hold of a cheap aftermarket cat. I figured the air pump would be hard to source, but if I don’t need it then it’s no problem.

I’ll give this a good long think. It’s a real stretch for me, and one that if I’m honest with myself I probably shouldn’t make ... but it’s an Impala SS!
