In California, it wouldn’t make sense to buy a ‘79 when you don’t need a smog certificate for ‘75 and earlier. I would expect that ‘79 Blazer to be malaised.

Didn’t these get about 9 MPG? Still sharp and very well preserved.

My CEO bought a perfect AJ Cowling Bronco last year. I want it badly.

I know! If I could afford it, I couldn’t bear to drive it on the winter and ruin it.

Like Birdog said, anything pre OBD2 is exempt from testing in Illinois. Even when I brought my Roadmaster in from out of state, it’s OBD1, so no testing.
