with a car dealer's license legally sell a car that has failed emissions? The guy selling the AMC has a dealer's license, I wonder If I even have to worry about it passing emissions.

Nobody can sell a car that doesn't pass emissions.

... the AMC is over 25 years old right? therefore, it's a classic, and doesn't need to pass emissions

oh ok... I get it...
so people can smoke all the weed they want down there, but their cars can't!
Meanwhile in florida, emissions is nonexistent, but y'all just declined medical marijuana....
While WA state gets the best of both! :D

Here in MA if a car is unable pass inspection within 7 days of purchase, the seller is obligated to provide a refund if the buyer so wishes, even in a private sale. Check your lemon laws, there's probably something similar for Colorado.

Lemon laws In Colo only apply to new cars

If it would not pass emissions, my understanding is they can sell it but they would have to sell it as "As-is, tow-away".

It's fucked up, and you can guess how I voted. I have a feeling it's a classic Florida poll rig that has happened before. Earlier polls had it it passing by nearly 10%.

Gas Emissions Program
The full counties of Boulder, Broomfield, Denver, Douglas and Jefferson and portions of Adams, Arapahoe, Larimer, and Weld counties require a passing emission test to register a vehicle. If you are unsure if a test is required in your area, please contact your local county motor vehicle office.
HideDoes my vehicle need a test?
1982-and-newer vehicles: An emissions test is required every two years for vehicles more than four model years old. Your vehicle registration renewal postcard will state whether or not a test is required, or if your vehicle has qualified for the roadside emissions test. Fee is $25.
1981-and-older vehicles: A two-speed idle test is required every year at an Air Care Colorado station or at an independent, licensed test station . Fee is $15.
Change of ownership: An emissions test is required when a vehicle is sold or its ownership changes. The seller is responsible or obtaining the test. A vehicle dealer may offer customers a voucher enabling the buyer to obtain a test. The dealer is responsible for repairing or repurchasing the vehicle if it fails the emissions test, but the consumer must return the vehicle to the dealer within 3 days of the purchase. There is one exception to this rule. If a newer vehicle is sold and there are 12 months or more left on the original 4-year exemption, the vehicle does not require testing at the time of sale.
Commuters: Vehicles registered outside the region but driven into the nine-county area for 90 or more days per year for work or school must have an emissions test.
New MSO (Manufacturer Statement of Origin) vehicles purchased from a dealer are exempt from emissions testing for four years.
Important Notice: Be sure your vehicle is due for an emissions test before going to an Air Care Colorado testing station.
State regulation requires testing stations to test all vehicles that are presented for testing. No refunds can be given for emissions tests on vehicles that were not actually due for a test. If you are not sure, call the Air Care Colorado Hotline or your local county motor vehicle office for information.

I would think it would be illegal for them to not disclose if it cannot pass emissions.
